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
