The Hollies

The Hollies are an English pop group formed in Manchester in the early 1960s, although the majority of the band members came from towns in East Lancashire. Known for their distinctive vocal harmony style, they became one of the leading British groups of the 1960s and early 1970s. They enjoyed considerable popularity in many countries, although they did not achieve major US chart success until 1966. They had 30 charting singles on the UK Singles Chart, and 21 on the Billboard Hot 100, with songs including, "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "Carrie Anne", "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" and "The Air That I Breathe". more »

Well, if you see old Annie give her a lift 
'Cause Annie's been working on the midnight shift 

If Annie puts her hair upon her head 
Paints them lips a bright, bright red 
Wears that dress that fits real tight 
Starts staying out to the middle of the night 
Says that her friends, give her a lift 
Well, Annie's been working on the midnight shift 

If she acts a little funny, seems a little strange 
Starts spending your money for a brand new thing 
Tells you that she wants to use the car 
Or never explains what she wants it for 
Brother, it ain't no if's 
Well, Annie's been working on the midnight shift 

Well, early in the morning when the sun comes up 
You look at old Annie and she looks kinda rough 
You tell her "Honey, get outa bed" 
She says "Leave me alone, I'm just about dead" 
Brother, these ain't no if's 
'Cause Annie's been working on the midnight shift 

If you got a good mama that's stayin' at home 
You better enjoy it 'cause it won't last long 
When you think everything's all right 
She starts going 'round in the middle of the night 
Brother, there just ain't no if's 
'Cause Annie's been working on the midnight shift 

Brother, there ain't no if's 
'Cause Annie's been working on the midnight shift, yeah
