Talk about the midnight rambler
Everybody got to go
Yeah! 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

Yeah, talkin' about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
Talkin' about the midnight rambler
Did you see him shut the garden door?
He don't give you a hoot of a warning
Dressed up in a black cat cloak
He don't go in the light of the morning
He split the time the cock'rel crow

Yea, baby

I'm talkin' about the midnight rambler
Honey, it's no rock 'n' roll show
I'm talkin' about the midnight rambler
Everybody got to go

Oh yea, oh yea
Oh yea, oh yea
Oh yea, oh yea
Shake it on down
Shake it
Oh yea, oh yea
Now don't do that
Now don't do that
Don't do that
Don't do that

Shake!
Shake!

Oh yea, oh yea
Oh yea, oh yea

Oh yea, oh yea
Whoo!
Yea
Ow!

Oh, no no no
Alright, oh
Oh yea, oh yea
Oh yea, oh baby
Oh yea, oh yea
Well, you heard about the Boston
Well now honey, it’s not one of those
I'm talkin' about the midnight
Did you see me shut the bedroom door?
I'm called the hit-and-run raper in anger
Or just the knife-sharpened tippie-toes
Or just the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler
Everybody got to go

If you ever see the midnight rambler
And he's coming down your marble hall
And he's pouncing like proud black panther
Yeah, you can say, I told you so
Don't you listen for the midnight rambler
Yea, easy, easy, as you go
I'm gonna smash down all yours plate glass windows
Put my fist through your steel-plate door
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Woo! Shake it down, so, yeah, baby! Woo!

Woo! Woo!
Yeah! Well I'm talkin' about the midnight rambler
Everybody got to go
Well, I'm talking about the midnight rambler
Did you see me shut the bedroom door?
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
Woo! Yeah! Yeah! Yes! Oh yes!
Oh, you made me feel so good
