It's Midnight And I'm Not Famous Yet

(album: Somewhere Over China - 1982)

Catch the elevator from the penthouse suite
And take it down to the casino
The God almighty sound of money moving round
Can be heard all the way to Reno

Well it's midnight and I'm not famous yet
Trying to win it all with one more bet
Nothing can stop my thirty-two hop
Or my ten dollar yo-yo-yo
It's midnight and I'm just getting ready to go
Lester Polyester signs another marker
Like the high rollers do
Seven come eleven
His brand new baby needs Gucci shoes
Well it's midnight and she's not famous yet

Trying to break the bank with one more bet
Nothing can stop my thirty-two hop
Or my ten dollar yo-yo-yo
It's midnight and Lester's getting ready to roll

[Instrumental]

They're paging someone we know
Lester hits a Keno
he's not leaving yet
Vacuum cleaners humming lounge act still is strumming
It's their twenty fourth set
Well it's midnight and they're not famous yet
Trying to win with one last bet
Nothing can stop my thirty-two hop
Or my ten dollar yo-yo-yo
It's midnight got nowhere to go
