Midnight Rambler

Did you hear about the midnight rambler?

Everybody got to go

Uh, did you hear about the midnight rambler?

The one that shut the kitchen door

He don't give a hoot of a warning

Ah, wrapped up in a blackened cloak

It don't go in the light of the morning

It split the time the cockerel crow

A talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler

The one you never seen before

Yeah, a talkin' about the midnight gambler

But did you see him jump the garden wall?

Sighin' down the wind so sadly

Ah, listen and you'll hear him moan, yeah well

Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler

Everybody got to go

Ah, did you hear about the midnight rambler?

Well, honey, it's no rock 'n roll show

Well, I'm a talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler

Yeah, the one you never seen before

Don't do that

Don't do that

Oh, don't do that

Don't do that, don't do-don't do that

Don't do-don't do that

Don't do that, don't-don't, don't do that

Don't do (Don't you do that)

Don't you do that

Don't do that, don't do that

Don't you do that, don't you do that

Don't you do that, don't you do that

Don't you do that, don't you do that

Don't you do that, don't you do that

Don't you do that, don't you do that

Don't do that, don't do that (Don't do that)

Don't do that (Don't you do that)

Don't do that (Don't you do that)

Don't you (Don't you do that)

Don't you (Don't you do that)

Don't you do that, don't-don't you do that

Oh, don't do that (Don't you do that)

Oh, don't do that

Oh, don't do that

Oh, don't do that

Oh, don't do that

Oh, don't do that

Oh, don't do that

Oh, don't do that

Oh, don't do that

Don't do that, don't

Don't do that

Well you heard about the Boston

It's not one of those

Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight, ooh, shhh

The one that closed the bedroom door

I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger

The knife-sharpened tippie-toe

Or just the shoot 'em dead, brain bell jangler

You know, the one you never seen before

So if you ever meet the midnight rambler

A-coming down your marble hall

Well he's pouncing like a proud black panther

Well, you can say, I told you so

Well, don't you listen for the midnight rambler, oh yeah

Play it easy, as you go

I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows

Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door

A did you hear about the midnight rambler?

He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall

A did you hear about the midnight gambler?

And did you see me make my midnight call?

And if you ever catch the midnight rambler

I'll steal your mistress from under your nose

I'll go easy with your cold fanged anger

I'll stick my knife right down your throat, baby, and it hurts
