Here's to you, you solitary sleeper As you face another long and lonely night Put the tom cat out in the yard And turn out the light Switch off
Rest your head, and close your weary peepers As you try and keep those memories at bay And from now on start trying Not to toss your sleepy time away 'Cause weary eyes and weary shoulders Won't bring her back to you You used to be a man of color And now you're midnight blue
Your weary eyes and weary shoulders Won't bring her back, it's true, yes it's true You used to be a man of color once But now you're midnight blue
Rest your head, and close your weary peepers As you try and keep those memories at bay And from now on start trying Not to toss your sleepy time away
'Cause weary eyes and weary shoulders Won't bring her back to you You used to be a man of color And now you're midnight blue
Your weary eyes and weary shoulders Won't bring her back, it's true, yes it's true You used to be a man of color once But now you're midnight blue
