Chicago After Midnight Lyrics
(Kitty & Harry Scene)Chicago After Midnight
Well, here's the way I got the story.There's this Kitty something-or-other, I didn't quite catch her last name.
Anyway, she's some sort of heiress — her parents own grapefruits, pineapples, something like that.
Anyway, she's playing house in a North Side apartment with a guy by the name of Harry.
Harry spends all his time in bed — you know, a real mattress dancer.
So one day this Kitty dame comes home and finds Harry already in bed,
which is par for the course for Harry.
She leaves, changes, and when she returns she notices something rather odd...
extremely odd.
She leaves, and when she returns she gently awakens Harry.
"Harry, baby, are you going to believe what you see, or what I tell you?"
— "What I see."
Good night, folks.

[Announcer] And now, for all you
Chicago stay-up-laters
You night owls
who only come alive
after dark
We dedicate this tune -
Chicago After Midnight.
[Billy Flynn] Yeah, this
this all took place
on Lake Shore Drive?
Incredible... incredible!
All right, yeah
Thanks
So, they just arrested this
woman for triple homicide
Yeah, get this... she's an heiress!
(guests respond in surprise)
Yeah, no,
the family’s in
pineapples, grapefruit –
some kind of fruits
(everyone laughs)
This dame,
Kitty... what’s her name...
something…
She's uh, she’s playing house…
On the north side
in an apartment…
with a guy named Harry
See, what Harry does for a living
no one's quite sure,
but it doesn't really matter
because she's footing all the bills
Anyhow,
Kitty comes home tonight
Harry’s already in bed,
Which is par for the course for Harry
She goes to change
(pause for a moment)
When she returns,
she notices something…
rather odd…
(pause again for dramatic effect)
Extremely... odd
Kitty disappears for a second,
pulls a cucumber
When she returns,
she “gently” wakes up Harry
(everyone laughs)
Harry says,
"What? l'm alone!"
And she said,
"Alone???
You have two other women
in bed with you!"
(more laughter)
So get this…
Harry, he says,
"Come on, doll,
you gonna believe what you see
or what l tell you?"
(laughter)
[Kitty, just before she shoots]
Go to hell!!
(gun shots)
[Announcer] Good night, folks!
