[Verse 1]
All Woe Jane stood in the parlor room
Drunk enough to tell it to the moon
And the party wasn't here, and there's bills to pay
And she hasn't seen her lawyer since Saint Agnes Day
The brothers Finn begin with a scotch on the rocks
Good thing that this dolly never learned to talk
And they took down forty chapels just to fill them in
And this is where the party will begin

[Chorus]
Welcome, my friends, to the Midnight Cabaret
Where the drinks are free, but you really must stay
We'll dance all night 'til the house falls down
But we'll never pull your body from the bleeding ground
We'll never pull your body from the ground

[Verse 2]
Little Bradley's ruined, and he's only seventeen
Head shaped like a pool cue, and a thing for gasoline
Set his house aflame, and he didn't get a cent
'Cause he's four months late upon his first month's rent
House reinvented for the newlywed
Good thing that their contract surely went unread
And he put his wife to bed, and the bed fell through the floor
And he jumped out of the window, couldn't take it anymore

[Chorus]
Welcome, my friends, to the Midnight Cabaret
Where the drinks are free, but you really must stay
We'll dance all night 'til the house falls down
But we'll never pull your body from the bleeding ground
We'll never pull your body from the ground
[x2]
