Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight
We're gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about
We're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight
Gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight, it's gonna be peaches and cream hmm
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about
After midnight
We're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight
We're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight
We're gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about
