Midnight Rambler Lyrics

    (m. jagger/k. richards)

    Did you hear about the midnight rambler
    Everybody got 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 the morning
    He split the time the cock'rel crows

    Talkin' about the midnight gambler
    The one you never seen before
    Talkin' about 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' about the midnight gambler
    Everybody got to go

    Did you hear about the midnight rambler
    Well, honey, it's no rock 'n' roll show
    Well, i'm talkin' about the midnight gambler
    Yeah, everybody got to go

    Well did ya hear about the midnight gambler?
    Well honey its no rock-in' roll show
    Well i'm talking about the midnight gambler
    The one you never seen before

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


    Well you heard about the boston...
    It's not one of those
    Well, talkin' 'bout the midnight...sh...
    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, brainbell jangler
    You know, the one you never seen before

    So if you ever meet the midnight rambler
    Coming down your marble hall
    Well he's pouncing like proud black panther
    Well, you can say i, i told you so
    Well, don't you listen for the midnight rambler
    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

    Did you hear about the midnight rambler
    He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall
    And 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!
