Mightnight Shift - Buddy Holly

Cause Annie’s been a-workin on a 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 'til the middle of the night

Says that a friend gave her a lift

Well, Annie’s been workin' on a 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, there just ain’t no «ifs?

Cause Annie’s been workin' on a 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 on 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 workin' on a midnight shift

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

You’d 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, there just ain’t no «ifs?

Cause Annie’s been workin' on a midnight shift
