NIGHT WORK
When I was a young boy I pretended I want a job
My daddy stayed pretty while my momma married into the mob
I dreamed one day I'd be living off the system for free
The dream's come true, honey, welcome to my reality
And I sleep all day and awake myself in the shaddows
(It's time to get up, gotta get up)
I 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 nine to five shift is over
Didn't ever pay to know I couldn't, couldn't check with the blade I used to have the shakes but now they couldn't get in the blade I sleep all day but I break my back in the moonlight
(It's not enought, it's not enough)
I gotta cash that cheque by midnight for the
And when the whistle blows and your body can't take it no more You gotta keep on moving, remember, this is what you asked for N-n-n-n-n-na
Ooh hoo
The night work
N-n-n-n-na, do the night work
