He sang this in Champaign, IL a week ago during the acoustic part of his set. Some people are calling this "Telemarketeer Blues". One person on this board said that he did NOT play Telemarketeer Blues in Champaign. Here are the lyrics as he sang it in Champaign on 4/10/04. I've been calling it "12:01"....Another person called it "After midnight". Can someone help find the REAL name to this song???



...What time is it?....



Nothing after midnight / ever been too good for me,

Nothing after midnight, baby / ever been too good for me,

‘Cause when I wake up in the morning, I don’t know who you be



Are you the main wife of the pharaoh / or are you just a concubine?

Are you the main wife of the pharaoh, baby / or are you just a concubine?

Are you gonna be good to me, or am I just—wasting time?



Somethin’s funky, baby---is that your breath or mine?

Somethin’s funky, baby / is that your breath or mine?

I had the regular chips—you had that other kind.....



Well, I’m probably gonna have to know your name / if I’m gonna make you mine

I’m probably gonna have to know your name/ if I’m gonna make you mine

By the way--my name is 12:01 / you can call me.....anytime..... "


Thanks, Butta

that's not Telemarketer Blues.

TMB is a funny song about telemarketers calling.



don't know what this is..... doesn't look like a cover song that i recognize.

It's called "After Midnight." There's another blues number called "Telemarketer Blues" that is similar in style, but totally different lyrics from this (the played the latter in Pittsburgh).

Hey, Uptown1--

Thanks. Not to sound picky--but in my search of direct-from-Prince info, did you yourself or someone you know hear HIM name it? (If no, has anyone out there heard PRINCE say the title of this song before playing it?)
