Soon After Midnight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] A gal named Honey took my money She was passing by It's soon after midnight And the moon is in my eye [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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
