(Is night shift okay with you? Yes. Hey, well you got yourself a job, homey.)
|
Graveyard shift ain¡¯t never dead. We got to work when people go to bed.
|
We got a tremendous work overload. The boss don¡¯t care about the dress code.
|
So if your hair¡¯s messed up, come on in. Nobody don¡¯t care 3 o¡¯clock in the morning.
|
I¡¯m fantasizin¡¯ about a six four, broke as hell moppin¡¯ the floor.
|
I don¡¯t know but I gots the hunch that it¡¯s almost time for lunch.
|
Smokin¡¯ cigarettes in the parking lot, all the homies tellin¡¯ lies about the women they got.
|
Nobody gets offended at a racial joke. Everybody¡¯s laughin¡¯ tryin¡¯ to stay woke.
|
We takin¡¯ it easy, though times are hard, pullin¡¯ practical jokes on the security guard.
|
And if you come late, the boss won¡¯t boot ya, standin¡¯ ¡®round talkin¡¯ ¡®bout the future.
|
Don¡¯t even trip if you feel tired. Take a little nap, you won¡¯t get fired.
|
Drink a little beer, smoke you a spliff, nobody cares on the graveyard shift.
|
Buc-wuci-wuci-wooci-woo. Buc-buc-buc-buci-buccooocc!
|
|
Paaaaaaaaarty! On the graveyard shift. (Yeah!)
|
Paaaaaaaaarty! On the graveyard shift. (Yeah!)
|
You don¡¯t have to slave too hard, on the Graveyard.
|
|
My name is Joseph Foreman, they call me ¡®Fro. I work at the neighborhood grocery store.
|
We actin¡¯ crazy like a bunch of kids, playin¡¯ frisbee with the trash can lids
|
When the bossman comes, baby, we don¡¯t run. He¡¯s a fool like us just tryin¡¯ to have fun.
|
Graveyard shift is a little bit prouder, play the radio just a little bit louder.
|
DJ playin¡¯ that midnight mix. Dance contest on isle number 6.
|
Bumpin¡¯ that old school 2-short rhyme. Got the homeboys in a Soul Train line.
|
You wanna act crazy, go ahead and be wild. If you wanna rap, go ahead and freestyle.
|
Graveyard shift, you just can¡¯t beat it. If you get hungry, grab something and eat it.
|
Drinkin¡¯ in the back with my home girl. The beer¡¯s on the house from the Corporate World.
|
Act like a fool ¡®til the break of dawn, yellin¡¯ curse words on the intercom.
|
Drag racin¡¯ with the fork lift. Nobody cares on the graveyard shift.
|
|
Paaaaaaaaarty! On the graveyard shift. (Yeah!)
|
Paaaaaaaaarty! On the graveyard shift. (Yeah!)
|
You don¡¯t have to slave too hard, on the Graveyard.
|
|
(Break it down, fellas.)
|
I never would work on daytime. Graveyard shift is my play time.
|
Daytime jobs are flaky. Daytime jobs are shaky.
|
Like Jello Gelatin, so I work graveyard shift like a skeleton.
|
An afro-classic is what I am. I drive to work without a traffic jam.
|
Everybody on the graveyard is like my brother, always lookin¡¯ out for each other.
|
Speak up fo¡¯ ya like a lawyer. If you come late, we¡¯ll punch the clock fo¡¯ ya.
|
We gots no money, but we gots pride. If you car breaks down, I¡¯ll give you a ride.
|
Cause the Corporate World is oh, so cold to the people at the bottom of the totem pole.
|
Divided we fall, together we stand. What you need? Get it from the Afroman.
|
I¡¯m not a thief, but I got the hook up for the bar-b-que ribs you wanna cook up.
|
And if you need somebody to get drunk with, call the homeboys from the graveyard shift.
|
(Dedicated to all the blue collar workers strugglin¡¯, strivin¡¯, throbbin¡¯, and thrivin¡¯. )
|
|
Paaaaaaaaarty! (If the boss lookin¡¯ for me¡¦)On the graveyard shift. (¡¦I¡¯m in my car asleep.)
|
Paaaaaaaaarty! (Hey, so watch my back cuzz.) On the graveyard shift.
|
(Tap on the window of something.)
|
You don¡¯t have to slave too hard, on the Graveyard.
|
|
Happiness is hard to find. Happiness is a state of mind.
|
It can¡¯t be found in fame or wealth, it¡¯s found real deep inside yourself.
|
Brothers, stop singin¡¯ the blues, throw parties and bar-b-ques.
|
Don¡¯t destroy your life, enjoy your life. Play with your kids and make love to your wife.
|
Drink a little beer, don¡¯t smoke no crack, have a good time before Christ come back.
|
Keep your head high, keep your back stiff. I¡¯ll see you Sunday night for the graveyard shift.
|
|
Paaaaaaaaarty! On the graveyard shift.
|
Paaaaaaaaarty! On the graveyard shift.
|
You |
