Midnight Shift

(lee / ainsworth)

Well, if you see old annie give her a lift.

'cos annie's been working on the midnight shift.



Annie puts her hair upon her head

Paints them lips a bright, bright red

Wears that dress that fits real tight

Starts staying out to the middle of the night.

Says that her friends give her a lift.

Well, annie's been working on the midnight shift.



Well, she acts a little funny

Seems a little strange

Starts spending your money for a brand new thing

Tells you that she wants to use the car

Never explains what she wants it for

Brother, it ain't no if's

Well, annie's been working on the midnight shift



Early in the morning when the sun comes up

You look at old annie and she looks kinda rough.

You tell her "honey, get outa bed."

She says "leave me alone, i'm just about dead."

Brother, these ain't no if's

'cos annie's been working on the midnight shift



If you got a good mama that's stayin' at home

You better enjoy it 'cos it won't last long.

When you think everything's all right

She starts going 'round in the middle of the night.

Brother, there just ain't no if's

'cos annie's been working on the midnight shift

Brother, this ain't no if's

'cos annie's been working on the midnight shift, yeah.
