I´m searching for phrases to sing your praises
I need to tell someone
It´s soon after midnight
And my day has just begun

A gal named Honey took my money
She was passing by
It´s soon after midnight
And the moon is in my eye

My heart is cheerful, it´s never fearful
I´ve been down on the killing floors
I´m in no great hurry, I´m not afraid of your fury
I´ve faced stronger walls than yours

Charlotte´s a harlot, dresses in scarlet
Mary dresses in green
It´s soon after midnight
And I´ve got a date with the fairy queen

They chirp and they chatter, what does it matter?
They´re lying there dying in their blood
Two-timing Slim, who´s ever heard of him?
I´ll drag his corpse through the mud

It´s now or never, more than ever
When I met you I didn´t think you would do
It´s soon after midnight
And I don´t want nobody but you
