Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We're gonna stimulate some action
We're gonna get some satisfaction
We're gonna find out what it is all about (what it is all about, what it is all about)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (after midnight, after midnight)
After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine (after midnight, after midnight)
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion, we're gonna give an exhibition
We're gonna find out what it is all about (what it is all about, what it is all about)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (we're gonna let it all hang down)
(We're gonna let it all hang down)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (we're gonna let it all hang down)
After midnight, we're gonna shake your tambourine
(Gonna shake your tambourine, gonna shake your tambourine)
After midnight, it's all gonna be peaches and cream
(Gonna shake your tambourine, gonna shake your tambourine)
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion, we're gonna give an exhibition
We're gonna find out what it is all about (what it is all about, what it is all about)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down (after midnight, after midnight)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
(Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
(Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
(Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down
(Gonna let it all hang down, gonna let it all hang down)

Escucha como retumban esos tambores y esas guitarras, dos leyendas chocan para deleitarnos con ese dueto de guitarras. Saben algo? Mi mayor ídolo en la guitarra es el señor Eric Clapton y para mi es un orgullo que mi paisano el señor Carlos Santana toque al lado de el mejor bluesman blanco en la historia, los mexicanos estamos orgullosos de ti Carlos Santana para mi es el mejor músico de México 🇲🇽
