Well, if you see old Annie give her a lift 'Cause 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 'Cause 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 'Cause Annie's been working on the midnight shift Brother, this ain't no if's 'Cause Annie's been working on the midnight shift, yeah
