C                                        D7
i hate a moral coward one who lacks a manly spark
 G                            C              G
i just detest a man afraid to go home in the dark
 C                                       D7
i always spend my evenings where theres women, wine, and song
 G                               G7
and like a man i always bring my little wife along
 C
i?m a member of the midnight crew
 G
i?m a night owl and a wise bird too
 G7                       C - A7 
home with the milk in the morning
 G                   G7
singing the same old song
 C                       E7         
rise with the moon go to bed with the sun
 Am                         E7
early to bed and you miss all the fun
 F                         C           F             C
bring your wife and troubles it will never trouble you
 C              D7         F - G - C
make her a member of the midnight crew 
 C                                   D 
The fun it doesn't stop 'til 12 on happy old Broadway
G                                    C                G
So what's the use of going home, until the break of day?
C                                    D
Now, something confidential, whisper not above a breath,
G                             G7
I once went home at 2 AM, and scared my wife to death!
 C
i?m a member of the midnight crew
 G
i?m a night owl and a wise bird too
 G7                       C - A7 
home with the milk in the morning
 G                   G7
singing the same old song
 C                       E7         
rise with the moon go to bed with the sun
 Am                  E7
early to bed and you miss all the fun
 F                         C           F             C
bring your wife and troubles it will never trouble you
 C              D7         F - G - C
make her a member of the midnight crew 
C                                D
I never shall forget the night I made Six Rapper's Run
 G                                    C            G
Although I didn't have a knife, a blackjack, or a gun
C                            D 
I proved myself a hero of a very high degree
 G                                         G7
I ran for home, and six of them , were running after me!
 C

 G7                       C - A7 
home with the milk in the morning
 G                   G7
singing the same old song
 C                       E7         
rise with the moon go to bed with the sun
 Am                         E7
early to bed and you miss all the fun
 F                         C           F             C
