Jimmy Buffett
It's Midnight and I'm Not Famous Yet
Written by - Jimmy Buffett & Steve Goodman
From - Somewhere Over China
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 and I'm just gettin' ready to go 
Lester Polyester signs another marker 
Like the high rollers do 
Seven come eleven 
His brand new baby needs Gucci shoes 
Well it's midnight and 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 and Lester's gettin' ready to roll

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 and they're not famous yet 
Tryin' to win with one last bet 
Nothin' can stop my thirty-two hop 
Or my ten dollar yo-yo-yo 
It's midnight got nowhere to go
