about

MIDNIGHT RANGER / MIDNIGHT RAMBLE REEL
(Lyrics: Sam Bagnall, composed by David Delarre)

A call to arms for lads on the ‘raz’ this is a proper Mawkin mash up. Found in the Full English Archive after an extensive hunt for songs about sordid characters, Dave re-wrote the melody and amalgamated two songs; ‘The Midnight Ranger’ and ‘Who’s Coming out for a Midnight Ramble’.

lyrics

I'm a boy that's fond of a midnight lark,
Some folks call me a bright young spark;
The reason is my deeds are dark,
And they call me the midnight ranger!

So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Who’s coming out for a jolly good spree?
So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Stand up and come with me!

Rollicking about on a starlit night,
Tickling the girls is my soul's delight,
I'm going to be married to the "Woman in White,"
And I really believe she's an angel.

So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Who’s coming out for a jolly good spree?
So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Stand up and come with me!

Shouting and bawling with might and main,
Wetting our gills with bright champagne;
I never have a loss, it's always gain,
I find, for the midnight ranger.

So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Who’s coming out for a jolly good spree?
So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Stand up and come with me!

Each friend I have is a bright young spark,
And good for a spree, when the night is dark;
Our howling makes the watch dogs bark,
And we laugh to scorn all danger.

So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Who’s coming out for a jolly good spree?
So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Stand up and come with me!

So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Who’s coming out for a jolly good spree?
So who’s coming out for a midnight ramble?
Stand up and come with me!
