Rockin' At Midnight

(album: The Honeydrippers: Volume One - 1984)

Have you heard the news
There's good rocking at midnight
Oh, I'm gonna hold my baby
With all my might
What a wonderful time we had that night
Hey, hey, there's good rocking at midnight
Have you heard the news
There's good rocking at midnight
Oh, I'm gonna hold my baby
With all my might
What a wonderful time we had that night
Hey, hey, there's good rocking at midnight
Now sweet Chalky Brown and sweet Lorraine
They got caught on Caledonia's land
Soon pretty soon they told it all
Those fellahs got drunk and they had a ball
Crying hey, hey
There's good rocking at midnight
Well, two times
Well, I tell y'all about now deacon John
He got so high they had to take him home
Hear the news about Ella Brown
He stole a chicken and he ran out of town
Hey, hey, there's good rocking at midnight
Caledonia got drunk and grinning like a pig
She fell down and she lost her wig
Charlie Brown she laughed and she got sick
And Caledonia got mad and grabbed a brick
Crying hey, hey, there's good rocking at midnight
Oh now let's go two times
Oh yeah Oh yeah, wanna tell you all about now deacon John
He got so high they had to take him home
Here's the news about Ella Brown
He stole a lot of chickens and he ran out of town
Crying hey, hey there's good rocking at midnight
Now, now, now Caledonia got drunk and grinning like a pig
She fell down and lost her wig
Charlie Brown she laughed and she got sick
Caledonia got mad and she grabbed a brick
Crying hey, hey there's good rocking at midnight
