Long About Midnight

Long About Midnight - The Mills Brothers

If you don't know just what to really do

Just take a walk along the avenue

You'll hear the sounds come a-floatin' through

Along about midnight along about midnight

They close the windows and they dim the light

And their doings from a stranger's sight

Everything is going right

Long about midnight long about midnight

Pianos tinkle and the couples sway

Taking the pleasures they find

They don't care how they live by day

Why not leave trouble behind

They're not pretending like the hoy falloy

They really mean it; it's the real McCoy

They turn an ounce of booze into a pound of joy

Long about midnight long about midnight

Long about midnight
