Gonna be some sweet sounds, coming down, on the nightshift.

Gonna be a long night; it's gonna be alright, on the nightshift.

Oh, you found a-nother home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift.

G       Em7   C       D
 Jackie,  you set the world on fire.
             C         Cadd9 C             D
You came and gifted us;       your love it lifted us, higher and higher.

I bet you're singing proud, oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd.

Gonna be a long night; it's gonna be alright, on the nightshift.
