Lyrics

It's Midnight And I'm Not Famous Yet
 By: Jimmy Buffett, Steve Goodman
 1981
 For Barry Hanah
 Catch the elevator from the penthouse suite
 And take it down to the casino
 The god-almighty sound of money movin' round
 Can be heard all the way to Reno
 Well it's midnight and I'm not famous yet
 Tryin' to win it all with one more bet
 Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop
 Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
 It's midnight, I'm just gettin' ready to roll
 (Midnight)
 Now Lester Polyester signs another marker
 Like the high rollers do
 Seven come eleven
 His brand new baby needs Gucci shoes
 Well it's midnight she's not famous yet
 Tryin' to break the bank with one more bet
 Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop
 Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
 It's midnight, Lester's gettin' ready to roll
 Midnight (midnight)
 Midnight
 (Midnight)
 They're pagin' someone we know, Lester hits a keno
 He's not leavin' yet
 Vacuum cleaners hummin' lounge act still is strummin'
 It's their twenty-fourth set
 Well it's midnight they're not famous yet
 Tryin' to win it all with one more bet
 Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop
 Or my ten dollar yo yo yo
 It's midnight, got nowhere to go (Oh oh)
 Midnight (midnight)
 (Oh oh oh)
 Midnight (midnight)
 (Oh oh oh, Midnight)
 (Oh oh oh, Midnight)
 (Oh oh oh, Midnight)
 (Oh oh oh)
