D
To sing your praises.
A                  D
I need to tell someone.
A                F#m
It's soon after midnight,
D       E              A E
And my day has just begun

A gal named Honey
Took my money
She was passing by.
It's soon after midnight,
D        E             A A7
And the moon is in my eye

D
My heart is cheerful.
A
It's never fearful.
D                               A    A7
I've been down on the killing floors.
D
I'm in no great hurry,
A
I'm not afraid of your fury.
D             A                 E
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 and dying in their blood.
Two-timing Slim,
Who's every 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
Its soon after midnight,
And I don't want nobody but you.
