Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?

Ev'rybody got to go

Did you heard about the Midnight Rambler,

the one that shut the kitchen door?



He don't give a hoot of warning

wrapped up in a black cat cloak

He don't go in the light of the morning

He's split, the time the cook'rel crows



Talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler,

the one you never seen before

Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler

Did you see him jump the garden wall?

Sighin' down the wind softly

Listen and you hear him moan



Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler

Ev'rybody got to go

Did you hear about the midnight gambler?

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



Talkin' 'bout the Midnight Rambler,

the one you never seen before

Oh, don't do that

Oh, don't do that

Oh, don't do that



Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?

He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall

Did you hear about the Midnight Rambler?

Did you see me make my midnight call



And if you catch the Midnight Rambler

I'll steal your mistress from under your nose

Well, go easy with your cold fandango

I'll stick my knife right down your throat

Baby, and it hurts!
