It's Midnight And I'm Not Famous Yet |
It’s midnight and I’m not famous yet |
By: jimmy buffett, steve goodman |
For barry hanah |
Catch the elevator from the penthouse suite |
And take it down to the casino |
The god-almighty sound of money movin' round |
Can be heard all the way to reno |
Chorus: |
Well it’s midnight and I’m not famous yet |
Tryin' to win it all with one more bet |
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop |
Or my ten dollar yo yo yo |
It’s midnight, I’m just gettin' ready to roll |
(midnight) |
Now lester polyester signs another marker |
Like the high rollers do Seven come eleven |
His brand new baby needs gucci shoes |
Chorus: |
Well it’s midnight she’s not famous yet |
Tryin' to break the bank with one more bet |
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop |
Or my ten dollar yo yo yo |
It’s midnight, lester’s gettin' ready to roll |
Midnight (midnight) |
Midnight |
(instrumental) |
(midnight) |
They’re pagin' someone we know, lester hits a keno |
He’s not leavin' yet |
Vacuum cleaners hummin' lounge act still is strummin' |
It’s their twenty-fourth set |
Well it’s midnight they’re not famous yet |
Tryin' to win it all with one more bet |
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop |
Or my ten dollar yo yo yo |
It’s midnight, got nowhere to go (oh oh) |
Midnight (midnight) |
(oh oh oh) |
Midnight (midnight) |
(oh oh oh, midnight) |
(oh oh oh, midnight) |
(oh oh oh, midnight) |
(oh oh oh) |
