Lyric It s Midnight And I m Not Famous Yet

It s Midnight And I m Not Famous Yet
By: Jimmy Buffett, Steve Goodman
1981
For Barry Hanah
Catch the elevator from the penthouse suite
And take it down to the casino
The god-almighty sound of money movin round
Can be heard all the way to Reno

Chorus:
Well it s midnight and I m not famous yet
Tryin to win it all with one more bet
Nothin can stop my thirty-two hop
Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
It s midnight, I m just gettin ready to roll

(Midnight)
Now Lester Polyester signs another marker
Like the high rollers do
Seven come eleven
His brand new baby needs Gucci shoes

Chorus:
Well it s midnight she s not famous yet
Tryin to break the bank with one more bet
Nothin can stop my thirty-two hop
Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
It s midnight, Lester s gettin ready to roll

Midnight (midnight)
Midnight

(instrumental)

(Midnight)
They re pagin someone we know, Lester hits a keno
He s not leavin yet
Vacuum cleaners hummin lounge act still is strummin
It s their twenty-fourth set
Well it s midnight they re not famous yet
Tryin to win it all with one more bet
Nothin can stop my thirty-two hop
Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
It s midnight, got nowhere to go (Oh oh)

Midnight (midnight)
(Oh oh oh)
Midnight (midnight)

(Oh oh oh, Midnight)
(Oh oh oh, Midnight)
(Oh oh oh, Midnight)
(Oh oh oh)
