I got nasty habits I take tea at three Yes and the meat I eat for dinner Must be hung up for a week My best friend he shoots water rats And feeds them to his geese Don't you think there's a place for you In between the sheets?
E
Come now, honey
G
A
We can build a home for three
E
Come on now, honey
G
A
Don't you wanna live with me? There's a score of hair-brained children They're all locked in the nursery They got earphone heads they got dirty necks They're so 20th century Well they queue up for the bathroom Round about seven thirty-five Don't you think we need a woman's touch To make it come alive? You'd look good Pram-pushing down the high street Come on now, honey Don't you wanna live with me?
Sax solo over verse and chorus chords
Oh, the servants they're so helpful, dear The cook she is a whore Yes, the butler has a place for her Behind the pantry door The maid, she's French, she's got no sense She's from the Crazy Horse And when she strips, the chauffeur flips The footman's eyes get crossed Oh, don't you think there's a place for us Right across the street? Don't you think there's a place for you In between the sheets?

I'm called the hit-and-run, rape her in anger The knife-sharpened tippy-toed Or just the shoot-him-dead brain-belled jangler You know the one you never seen before So if you ever meet the midnight rambler A-crawling down your marble hall Well he prowling like a proud black panther You can say I, I told you so Well won't you listen for the midnight rambler Play it easy as you go I'm gonna smash down your plate glass windows Put a fist through your steel plate door

Did you hear about the midnight rambler? He'll leave his footprints up and down your hall A-did you hear about the midnight gambler? A-did you see me make my midnight call?

You get what you need I went down to the demonstration To get my fair share of abuse Singing, "we're gonna vent our frustration If we don't we're gonna blow a 50 amp fuse" You can't always get what you want... I went down to the Chelsea Drug Store To get your prescription filled I was standing in line with Mr Jimi And man did he look pretty ill We decided we would have a soda My favorite flavour: cherry red I sung my song to Mr Jimi And he said one word to me and that was "dead" (I said to him...)
