Late Shift
The Old Ceremony
The bar is closed, but I'm still here.
There's no use going home. My dear,
She won't be waiting up for me tonight.
And all my friends stop by to see
The bar my in-laws bought for me.
Sometimes I swear I'll never see the light
Working the late shift tonight.
Working the late shift....
I carry 'round her family name,
But now I sense a hint of shame.
She signed the deed;
she's holding me to rights.
Yeah, all along I knew the deal-
I married rich, but now I feel
She married me simply out of spite,
Working the late shift tonight.
Working the late shift....
Working the late shift tonight.
Working the late shift....
I'm losing cash hand over fist,
But I am not concerned by this.
The real cash is powder and white.
So may I propose another drink?
The more I have, the less I think,
The more I feel that everything's alright.
Working the late shift tonight.
Working the late shift....
