Well the clock is strikin' twelve

Somebody's got to go

Well the clock is strikin' twelve

Somebody's got to go

Gee but I'm going to miss ya baby

This is one thing I'm sure you know

When it's twelve o'clock in Memphis

It's one o'clock in San Antone

When it's twelve o'clock in Memphis

It's one o'clock in San Antone

When it's midnight in California

I'll be so all alone

Midnight is an awful hour

Why does it come so soon

Midnight is an awful hour

Why does it come so soon

It never bring me happiness

It always leave me filled with gloom

Don't ever gamble buddy

Unless you're sure that you can't lose

Don't ever gamble buddy

Unless you're sure that you can't lose

You better take my advise

Unless you want this midnight blues

Put it away
