Buddy Holly- Midnight shift 
 
If you see old Annie better give her a lift 
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
