[Verse 1]
It begins to tell 'round midnight, 'round midnight
I do pretty well 'til after sundown
At suppertime, I'm feelin' sad
But it really gets bad 'round midnight

[Verse 2]
Memories always start 'round midnight, 'round midnight
I haven't got the heart to stand those memories
So when, when my heart is still with you
Yes, old midnight knows it, too
Alone tonight

[Scat Bridge]

[Verse 3]
For 'round midnight, when it comes around
So let our heart take wing 'round midnight, 'round midnight
Let the angels sing for your returning
'Til our love is safe and sound
And old midnight comes around

[Outro]
'Cause I'm feelin' sad
And it really gets bad 'round midnight, 'round midnight
