Did you hear about the midnight rambler,
Everybody to to go
Did you hear 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 morning
He's split the time the cockrel crows

Talkin' the midnight gambler
The one you've never seen before
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler
Did you see him jump the garden wall
Sighin' down the wind so sadly
Listen and you'll hear him moan
Talkin' 'bout the midnight rambler
Everybody got to go

Did you hear about the midnight rambler
Well, honey, it's no rock'n roll show
Well, I'm takin' 'bout the midnight gambler
Yeah, the one you never seen before

Don't you do that, don't you do that
Don't do that, don't do that, oh don't do that
(repeat)
Well, you heard about the Boston
It's not one of those
Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight rambler
The one who closed the bedroom door
I'm called the hit-and-run, raape her in anger
The knife-sharpened tippy-toe
Or just the shoot-em-dead brainbell jangler
You know the one you never seen before
So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
A-paddin' down your marble hall

Well, he's prancin' like a proud black panther, yeah
You can say I told you so
Well, won't you listen for the midnight gambler
Yeah, play it easy as you go
I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows
Put a pierce through your steel plate door

Did you hear about the midnight rambler
He'll leave his footpriunts up and down your hall
Did you hear about the midnight gambler
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
Well, go easy with your cold fandango
I'll stick my knife right down your throat
baby, and it hurts
