He don't go in the light of the morning
Listen and you'll hear him moan, yeah, well
Or just the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler
And did you see me make my midnight call?
Did you hear about the midnight rambler?
I'll go easy with your cold fanged anger
And did you hear about the midnight gambler?
Coming down your marble hall
Well, honey, it's no rock and roll show
Oh, you all, play it easy as you go
Well, I'm talkin' about the midnight gambler, yeah
Don't you do that
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
Did you see him jump the garden wall?
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before, yeah
Don't you do that
So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
The one that closed the bedroom door
The knife-sharpened tippie-toe
Well you heard about the Boston
Did you hear about the midnight rambler
One you never seen before
He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall
Sighin' down the wind so sadly
Don't you do that
Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler
Wrapped up in a black cat cloak
I'll steal your mistress from under your nose
He don't give a hoot of warning
Everybody got to go, dance
Well, don't you listen for the midnight rambler?
The one that shut the kitchen door?
I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger
You know, the one you've never seen before
I'm gonna smash down all your plate glass windows
Well, he's pouncing like proud black panther
And if you ever catch the midnight rambler
Talkin' 'bout the midnight gambler
Put a fist, put a fist through your steel-plated door
It's not one of those
He split the time the cockerel crows
Well, you can say I, I told you so
