Midnight Dreary

Lyrics

Once upon a 3am dreary
I arose from bed my heart afeary
Full of dread and anxious
Something. Something weary
Once upon a midnight dreary
I lay akimbo on my couch aweary
Cast my eyes heavenwards
And released a fulsome sigh

2 legged or 4
Women are never a bore
Less than efficacious
Mi amor
Mi cielo

Once upon a midnight dreary
Once upon a midnight dreary
You walked in like trouble
And I liked it already
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This isn't the best time to tell you
But you've got an attitude

I tried to stay solemn
Tried to play it cool
But your grin hit harder
Than a house cat's rule
You took my gloom
And gave it a name
Now my little disaster
Wears a softer flame

2 legged or 4
Women are never a bore
Less than efficacious
Mi amor
Mi cielo

Once upon a midnight dreary
Once upon a midnight dreary
You walked in like trouble
And I liked it already
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This isn't the best time to tell you
But you've got an attitude

Maybe I should hush now
Maybe I should flee
But your sharp little orbit
Keeps circling me
So take my bad timing
Take my panic too
I came here with a sigh
I'm leaving here with you

Once upon a midnight dreary
Once upon a midnight dreary
You walked in like trouble
And I liked it already
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This isn't the best time to tell you
But you've got an attitude
