Buddy Holly

Midnight Shift

Well if you see ol' Annie, better give her a lift

'Cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift

If Annie puts her hair up on her head

Paints them lips up bright bright red

Wears that dress that fits real tight

Starts stayin' out late till the middle of the night

Says to her friend, give her a lift

Well Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift

If she acts a little funny, seems a little strange

Starts spending your money for brand new things

Tells you that she wants to use the car

Never explains what she wants it for

Brother, there just ain't no ifs

'Cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift

Well early in the morning when the sun comes up

You look at ol' Annie and she looks kinda rough

You tell her, honey get out of that bed

She says, leave me alone I'm just about dead

Brother, there just ain't no ifs

'Cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift

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

You better enjoy, 'cause it won't last long

When you think everything's all right

She starts slippin' round in the middle of the night

Brother, there just ain't no ifs

'Cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift
