Have you heard the news
There's good rockin' at midnight
Oh, I'm gonna hold my baby

What a wonderful time we had that night
Hey, hey, there's good rockin' at midnight

Hey, hey, there's good rockin' at midnight

Now sweet Chalky Brown and sweet Lorraine
They got caught on Caledonia's land
Soon pretty soon they told it all
Those fellahs got drunk and they had a ball

Crying hey, hey
There's good
Rockin' at midnight
Well, two times

He got so high they had to take him home
Hear the news about Ella Brown
He stole a chicken and he ran out of town

Hey, hey, there's good rockin' at midnight
Caledonia got drunk and grinning like a pig
She fell down and she lost her wig

And Caledonia got mad and grabbed a brick

Crying, hey, hey, there's good
Rockin' at midnight
Oh, now let's go two times
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
