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
