Bob Marley & The Wailers - Night Shift

This lyric contains biblical references. Click here to show the references.

The sun shall not smite I by day
Nor the moon by night
Psalms 121:6

And everything that I do
Shall be upfull and right
Proverbs 8:6

And if it's all night
It got to be all right!
If it's all night
Got to be all right!

Your mamma won't lose this one
You're the lucky one under the sun
If you make me move
Then you know you got the groove:
All night, it's all right!
All night, yeah! It's all right!

Working on a forklift
In the night shift
Working on a night shift
With the forklift
from A.M. (Did you say that? Why did you say that?)
to P.M. (Working all night!)
Working on a night shift, yeah!
(Did you say that? Why did you say that? Upfull and right!)
Well, if it's (all night!) - if it's (all right!)
all night (all night!) -

Warehouse (all right!)
You're empty, yeah!
Go around the corner
Bring your goods!
Go around the other corner
Bring your suitcases. (All night!)
By the sweat of my brow, (All right!)
Eat your bread! (All night!)
By the sweat of my brow, (All right!)
Eat your bread!

All night (all night)! All right (all right)!
All night (all night)! All right (all right)!
Oh, yeah! (moon by night)
Why did you say that? Oh, yeah! (Upfull and right!)
Working on a night shift
With the forklift. (Moon by night!)
Working on the night shift
Oh, yeah! (Upfull and right!)
