Soon After Midnight

[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
