Buddy on the Nightshift
[Verse 1]
Hello there, buddy on the nightshift
I hope you slept all day
Until the moon came out and woke you up
And sent you on your way

[Verse 2]
Hello there, buddy on the nightshift
I hope you're feeling fine
I left a lot of work for you to do
On a long assembly line

[Bridge]
I wish I knew you better
But you never go my way
For when one of us goes on the job
The other hits the hay

[Verse 3]
Goodbye now, buddy on the nightshift
And push those planes along
And when the sun comes out I'll take your place
All wide awakе and strong
I'll follow you, you'll follow me
And how can we go wrong?
[Verse 1]

Hello there, buddy on the nightshift (Hi there)
I hope you're feeling fine (You're fine)
I left a lot of work for you to do

[Bridge]
I wish I knew you better
But you never go my way
For when one of us goes on the job
The other hits the hay

[Verse 3]
Goodbye now, buddy on the nightshift (Goodbye, goodbye)
And push those planes along (Push 'em along)
And when the sun comes out I'll take your place
All wide awake and strong
I'll follow you, you'll follow me
And how can we go wrong?
