Midnight special, that's what they call me around town
I take care of all those lonely young ladies
While the men are running around, ha ha ha
During the daytime I'm that nice guy working at the department store, ha ha ha ha
People think I'm a shy one, ahhh, but they don't know
Looka here, as soon as the sun starts going down
You'll see me start to get ready then make my rounds
Midnight special, that's what they call me around town
I take care of all those lonely young ladies
While the men are out running around
My first job tonight is gonna be at Mary Jo's
I couldn't see her last night coz it was way past four
Over in the wee wee hours I have to be long gone
I can't be around when the fellas start coming back home
I'm that Midnight special, that's what they call me around town
I take care of all those lonely young ladies
While the men are out running around, oooo
I'm that Midnight special, ha ha ha ha, that's what they call me around town
I take care of all those lonely young ladies....
