The Rolling Stones - Midnight Rambler lyrics

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 will crow

Talkin' about the midnight gambler
The one you never seen before
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
Yeah, well I'm talkin' about
The midnight gambler everybody got to go

Yes

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, the one you never seen before

Don't do that, don't do that, don't do that
Don't do that, don't do that
Don't do that, don't do that
Don't do that, don't do that
Don't do that, don't do that
Don't do that, don't do that
Don't do that, don't you do that
Don't you, don't you do that don't do that
Don't do that don't you do that
Don't you do that don't you do that
Don't you do that don't you do that
Don't you do that don't you do that
Don't you do that don't you do that
Don't you do that don't you do that
Don't you, don't you do that
Don't you, don't you do that
Don't you, don't you do that
Don't you, don't you do that
Don't you, don't you do that
Don't you, don't you do that
Don't you, don't you do that
Oh don't do that oh don't do that
Oh don't do that oh don't do that
Oh don't do that oh don't do that
Oh don't do that oh don't do that
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 midnightsh
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
Brain bell 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 a
Proud black panther
Well, you can say I, I told you so
Well, don't you listen for
The midnight rambler, yeah yeah
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!
