We’re gon na stim u late some ac tion;

(F)we’re gon na get some sat is fac tion, We’re gon na find out what it is all a (G)bout.

Af ter mid night,

Af ter mid night,

We’re gon na cause talk and sus pi cion;

We’re gon na find out what it is all a (G)bout.

Af ter mid night,

we’re gon na (F)let it all hang down.

Af ter mid night,

we’re gon na (F)let it all hang down.

Af ter mid night,
