[00:00.00]'Long About Midnight - Mildred Bailey
[00:10.98]If you don't know just really what to do
[00:14.05]Take a walk along the avenue;
[00:16.54]
[00:17.39]You'll hear the sounds come a-floatin' through
[00:20.02]
[00:20.88]Along about midnight.
[00:23.17]
[00:24.41]Close the windows and they dim the light
[00:27.65]Keep their doings from a stranger's sight;
[00:30.94]And everything is going right,
[00:33.54]
[00:35.17]'Long about midnight.
[00:37.32]
[00:38.16]And tinkle, couples sway,
[00:41.30]Taking the pleasures they find,
[00:43.79]
[00:44.49]They don't care how they live by day,
[00:47.44]They just leave the worry behind
[00:50.48]
[00:51.39]They're not pretending it's the hoy-falloy;
[00:54.35]
[00:55.00]They really mean it; it's the real McCoy.
[00:57.83]They turn a booze of ounce a pound of joy,
[01:01.78]'Long about midnight!
[01:03.26]
[01:59.35]If you don't know just really what to do
[02:03.04]Take a walk along the avenue;
[02:05.57]
[02:06.29]You'll hear the sounds come a-floatin' through
[02:10.21]Along about midnight.
[02:12.60]
[02:13.67]Close the windows and they dim the light
[02:16.91]Keep their doings from a stranger's sight;
[02:19.73]
[02:20.40]Then everything is going right,
[02:22.57]
[02:23.78]'Long about midnight.
[02:26.04]
[02:27.27]Glasses tinkle, couples sway,
[02:30.42]Taking the pleasures they find,
[02:33.89]They don't care how they live by day,
[02:37.20]They just leave the worries behind
[02:39.56]
[02:40.70]They're not pretending it's the hoy-falloy;
[02:44.26]They really mean it; it's the real McCoy.
[02:47.68]They turn a booze of ounce a pound of joy,
[02:50.76]
[02:51.38]'Long about midnight!
