Jimmy Buffett
It’s Midnight and I’m Not Famous Yet
[Verse 1]
Catch the elevator from the penthouse suite
And take it down to the casino
The god-almighty sound of money movin' round
Can be heard all the way to Reno
[Chorus 1]
Well, it's midnight and I'm not famous yet
Tryin' to win it all with one more bet
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop or my ten dollar yo yo yo
It's midnight, I'm just gettin' ready to roll
[Verse 2]
Now Lester Polyester signs another marker
Like the high rollers do
Seven come eleven
His brand new baby needs Gucci shoes
[Chorus 2]
Well, it's midnight and she's not famous yet
Tryin' to break the bank with one more bet
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop or my ten dollar yo yo yo
It's midnight, Lester's gettin' ready to roll
[Verse 3]
They're pagin' someone we know
Lester hits a keno, he's not leavin' yet
Vacuum cleaners, hummin' lounge act still is strummin'
It's their twenty-fourth set
[Chorus 3]
Well, it's midnight and they're not famous yet
Tryin' to win it all with one more bet
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop or my ten dollar yo yo yo
It's midnight, got nowhere to go
