'Long About Midnight

'Long About Midnight - Mildred Bailey

If you don't know just really what to do

Take a walk along the avenue

You'll hear the sounds come a-floating through

Along about midnight

Close the windows and they dim the light

Keep their doings from a stranger's sight

And everything is going right

Long about midnight

And tinkle couples sway

Taking the pleasures they find

They don't care how they live by day

They just leave the worry behind

They're not pretending it's the hoy-falloy

They really mean it it's the real McCoy

They turn a booze of ounce a pound of joy

Long about midnight

Ah-en Ah-en

If you don't know just really what to do

Take a walk along the avenue

You'll hear the sounds come a-floating through

Along about midnight

Close the windows and they dim the light

Keep their doings from a stranger's sight

Then everything is going right

Long about midnight

Glasses tinkle couples sway

Taking the pleasures they find

They don't care how they live by day

They just leave the worries behind

They're not pretending it's the hoy-falloy

They really mean it it's the real McCoy

They turn a booze of ounce a pound of joy

Long about midnight

Long about midnight
