night work

when i was a young boy i pretended i had a job

my daddy said 'pretty woman

mama married into the mob'

i dreamed one day i'd be livin' off the system for free

but dreams come true

honey; welcome to my reality

and i sleep all day and wake myself in the shadows

gotta catch that train by midnight for the

night work

gotta do the night work

punch that clock and break all the numbers

night work

gotta do the night work

weekday 9 to 5 shift is over

i didn't have a penny

no

i couldn't cut a check with a blade

i used to have the shakes

but now they're good at getting me played

i sleep all day but i break my back in the moonlight

gotta cash that check by midnight for the

night work

gotta do the night work

punch that clock and break all the numbers

night work

gotta do the night work

weekday 9 to 5 shift is over

night work

gotta do the night work

punch that clock and break all the numbers

night work

gotta do the night work

weekday 9 to 5 shift is over

and when the whistle blows

and your body can't take it no more

you gotta keep on movin'

remember

this is what you asked for

na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-night work

na-na-na-na-na-na-night work

night work

gotta do the night work

night work gotta do the night work

weekday 9 to 5 shift is over
