INTRO:
E
Well, if you see old Annie, better give her a lift..
      A
Cause 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,
       D
starts stayin' out till the middle of the night..
E
Says that a friend give her a lift..
      A
Well, 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,'
      A
cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.

CHORUS:
      D
Well, early in the morning when the sun comes up,
    A
you look at old Annie and she looks kinda rough.
         D
You tell her, honey, get out of that bed..
           A
She says, 'Leave me alone, I'm just about dead.'
E
Brother, there just ain't no 'ifs,'
      A
cause 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,
    D
she starts slippin' 'round in the middle of the night.
E
Brother, there just ain't no 'ifs,'
      A
cause Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.
