Mimi needs a thriller when she goes to bed

(Chorus:)
Mimi needs a thriller when she goes to bed,
goes to bed, goes to bed
Never hits the hay without a book on crime
So she keeps the light on all the time.

Night is falling, sleep is calling, and it's bedtime, yes indeed
Where is Mimi? There is Mimi, looking for a book to read
Nothing comic or atomic, nor that science fiction stuff
No, she likes gory stories where the gangster's really tough.

Chorus

I want some sleep now, Mimi wants to keep reading
I want some sleep now, but she's got only got seven chapters more to go.

For the killer in the thriller is a hard-faced brutal guy
And his victim, who has tricked him, doesn't know he's gonna die
She's excited, she's delighted, says she must get to the end
If there is one more murder then I'll go right round the bend, oh...

Chorus

No chance to sleep now, Mimi wants to keep reading
And so I creep now out of bed before she describes another corpse.

Then I make off, quietly take off to the bar just down the street
Have some doubles, tell my troubles to the barman who's descrete
And I wake there pretty late there till I'm sure without a doubt
that Mimi's finished reading and she's put that damned light out.

Oh, Mimi needs a thriller when she goes to bed,
goes to bed, goes to bed
Mimi needs her thrillers and her interpol,
and I need alcohol.

Instrumental

Mimi needs her thrillers and her interpol,
and I need alcohol -- cheers!
