Midnight Mix-Up

[Intro: instrumental] Mmm... Hmm... Let me tell ya... [Verse] I walked into the bar, the clock struck half past nine, Ordered me a whiskey, thought I'd have a real good time, But I got lost in the music, didn't see the hands unwind, Now I'm in trouble, my woman's out her mind. [solo: piano] [Verse 2] She stomped on in, eyes flaming like a fire, Said, "Where you been, honey? It's already near the hour. I've been waiting at home, patient, all alone, But you chose to party, leave me on my own." [Bridge] [Chorus] Oh, Lord gotta act fast, can't let this get dire, Gotta make my excuses, out of this hellfire, So I grabbed my hat and said, "Darling, don't get cross, This time slipped away, it's just a midnight mix-up loss." [solo: mute-trumpet] [Bridge] [Chorus] Oh, Lord gotta act fast, can't let this get dire, Gotta make my excuses, out of this hellfire, So I grabbed my hat and said, "Darling, don't get cross, This time slipped away, it's just a midnight mix-up loss." [Ending: instrumental] [silence] Oh, Lord gotta act fast, can't let this get dire, Gotta make my excuses, out of this hellfire, So I grabbed my hat and said, "Darling, don't get cross, This time slipped away, it's just a midnight mix-up loss." [Ending: instrumental] [silence]
