Well, the clock is strikin' twelve

Baby, somebody's gotta go

I said the clock is strikin' twelve

Baby, somebody's gotta go

Gee, but I know I'm gonna miss you, honey

Thats one thing I know When it's twelve o'clock in Memphis

It's one o'clock in San Antone

Twelve o'clock in Memphis, baby

One o'clock in San Antone

When it's midnight in California

Oh, I'll be so all alone If midnight is an awful hour

Baby, why does it come so soon?

Midnight is an awful hour

Baby, why does it come so soon?

It never brings me happiness

Always leave me filled with gloom Don't ever gamble, buddy

Unless you're sure that you can't lose

Hey, don't ever gamble, buddy

Unless you're sure that you can't lose

You better take my advice

Unless you want those midnight blues
