INTRO:
[E]Well, if you see old Annie, better give her a lift..
Cause [A]Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.
#1.
[A]If Annie puts her hair up on her head,
[D]paints them lips up bright, bright red,
[A]wears that dress that fits real tight,
starts [D]stayin' out till the middle of the night..
[E]Says that a friend give her a lift..
Well, [A]Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.
#2.
[A]If she acts a little funny, seems a little strange,
[D]starts spendin' your money for brand new things.
[A]Tells you that she wants to use the car,
[D]never explains what she wants it for.
[E]Brother, there just ain't no 'ifs,'
cause [A]Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.
CHORUS:
Well, [D]early in the morning when the sun comes up,
you [A]look at old Annie and she looks kinda rough.
You tell [D]her, honey, get out of that bed..
She says, '[A]Leave me alone, I'm just about dead.'
[E]Brother, there just ain't no 'ifs,'
cause [A]Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.
#3.
[A]If you got a good Mama that's stayin' at home,
[D]you better enjoy it, cause it won't last long.
[A]When you think everything's all right,
she [D]starts slippin' 'round in the middle of the night.
[E]Brother, there just ain't no 'ifs,'
cause [A]Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.
