Lyrics
When I was a young boy, I pretended I had a job
My daddy said, "Pretty woman, mama married into the mob"
A dream one day I'd be living off this system for free
The dreams come true, honey, welcome to my reality
Asleep all day, and wake myself in the shadows (gotta get up, gotta get up)
I've gotta catch that train by midnight for my-
Night work, gotta do the night work
Punch that clock, and break overnighters
Night work, gotta do the night work
Weekday nine to five shift is over
I didn't have a penny, no, I couldn't cut a cheque with a blade
I used to have the shakes, but now that booty getting me paid
Asleep all day, but I break my back in the moonlight (never enough, it's never enough)
I gotta cash that cheque by midnight for my-
Night work, gotta do the night work
Punch that clock, and break overnighters
Night work, gotta do the night work
Weekday nine to five shift is over
Night work, gotta do the night work
Punch that clock, and break overnighters
Night work, gotta do the night work
Weekday nine to five shift is over
And when the whistle blows, and your body can't take it no more
You got to keep on moving, remember, this is what you asked for
Ni-ni-ni-ni-ni, ni-ni-ni-night work
Ni-ni-ni, ni-ni-night work
Night work, ah, night work
Night work, ah, night work
Night work, ah, night work
Weekday nine to five shift is over
