Midnight Shift Songtext
von The Crickets

Well if you see old 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 a bright, bright red
Wears that dress that fits real tight
Starts stayin' out 'til the middle of the night
Says that a 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 spendin' your money for brand new things
Tells you that she wants to use the car
Never explains what she wants it for
Brother, that this ain′t no ifs
'Cause Annie′s been a-workin' on the midnight shift

Well early in the mornin′ when the sun comes up
You look at old 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, that this 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 it ′cause it won't last long
When you think everything′s all right
She starts slippin' 'round in the middle of the night
Brother, that this ain′t no ifs
′Cause Annie's been a-workin′ on the midnight shift
