🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Gimme! Gimme! Gimme a man after midnight
  • Won't somebody help me
  • Chase the shadows away?
  • Gimme! Gimme! Gimme a man after midnight

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Gimme! Gimme! Gimme a man after midnight
  • Take me through the darkness
  • To the break of the day
  • Gimme! Gimme! Gimme a man after midnight
gimmemidnightthere's
