Buddy Holly — Midnight Shift

[Verse 1] Well if you see old Annie, better give her a lift Because Annie's been a-working 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 staying out late till the middle of the night Says to her friend, give her a lift Well Annie's been a-working 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 [Chorus] Brother, there just ain't no ifs Because Annie's been a-working on the midnight shift [Verse 2] Well early in the morning when the sun comes up You look at old Annie and she looks kind a rough You tell her, honey get out of that bed She says, leave me alone I'm just about dead [Chorus] [Verse 3] If you got a good mama that's staying at home You better enjoy, cause it won't last long When you think everything's all right She starts slipping round in the middle of the night [Chorus]
