(Twelve o'clock. City lights outside. Let's get to work.) The warehouse door is rolling down, The quiet settles on the town, I set my thermos on the steel, And focus on the way I feel. The clock is ticking on the wall, I answer every single call. Midnight shift until the sun! Keep on moving till it's done! Midnight shift until the sun! We the only working one! The forklift moving in the lane, The steady hum across the grain, A quiet worker knows the trade, And how an honest dime is made. The clock is ticking on the wall, I answer every single call. Midnight shift until the sun! Keep on moving till it's done! Midnight shift until the sun! We the only working one! (Turn the page. Next chapter.) We built the work with steady hands, The strongest timber in the land! Midnight shift until the sun! (Keep it moving!) Keep on moving till it's done! (Hold the floor!) Midnight shift until the sun! We the only working one! (Shift done. Morning light. Heading home.)
