[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
Everybody got to go

Did you see him jump the garden wall
Sighin' down the wind so sad
Listen and you'll hear him moan
Talkin' about the midnight gambler
Everybody got to go

[​Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
Well I'm talkin' about the midnight gambler
Everybody got to go
Well I'm talkin' about the midnight rambler
The one that shut the kitchen door
[Audience Applause]
