INTRO:
EWell, (022100@1)if you see old Annie, better give her a lift..
      ACause (x02220@1)Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.

#1.
AIf (x02220@1)Annie puts her hair up on her head,
Dpaints (xx0232@1)them lips up bright, bright red,
Awears (x02220@1)that dress that fits real tight,
       Dstarts (xx0232@1)stayin' out till the middle of the night..
ESays (022100@1)that a friend give her a lift..
      AWell, (x02220@1)Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.

#2.
AIf (x02220@1)she acts a little funny, seems a little strange,
Dstarts (xx0232@1)spendin' your money for brand new things.
ATells (x02220@1)you that she wants to use the car,
Dnever (xx0232@1)explains what she wants it for.
EBrother, (022100@1)there just ain't no 'ifs,'
      Acause (x02220@1)Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.

CHORUS:
      DWell, (xx0232@1)early in the morning when the sun comes up,
    Ayou (x02220@1)look at old Annie and she looks kinda rough.
         DYou (xx0232@1)tell her, honey, get out of that bed..
           AShe (x02220@1)says, 'Leave me alone, I'm just about dead.'
EBrother, (022100@1)there just ain't no 'ifs,'
      Acause (x02220@1)Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.

#3.
AIf (x02220@1)you got a good Mama that's stayin' at home,
Dyou (xx0232@1)better enjoy it, cause it won't last long.
AWhen (x02220@1)you think everything's all right,
    Dshe (xx0232@1)starts slippin' 'round in the middle of the night.
EBrother, (022100@1)there just ain't no 'ifs,'
      Acause (x02220@1)Annie's been a-workin' on the midnight shift.
