Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sun shall not smite I by day
Nor the moon by night
And everything that I do
Shall be hopeful and bright
[Verse 2]
And if it's all night
It got to be alright
(Alright)
If it's all night
(All night, alright)
Got to be alright
[Verse 3]
Yeah, mama don't lose this one
You're the lucky one, under the sun
If you make me move
Then you know you've got the groove
[Verse 4]
All night
(All night, alright)
It's alright
All night, yeah
(All night, alright)
It's alright
[Verse 5]
Working on a forklift
In the night shift
Workin' on a night shift
With the forklift
[Verse 6]
From A.M. (Did you say that, why did you say that?)
To P.M. (workin' all night)
Workin' on a night shift, yeah
(Did you say that, why did you say that?)
(Hopeful and bright)
[Verse 7]
Well, if it's (All night)
If it's (alright)
If it's all night
(All night, alright)
Warehouse, you're empty, yeah
[Verse 8]
Right around the corner
Bring your goods
Go around the other corner
Bring your suitcases
[Verse 9]
(All night, alright)
By sweat of my brow
Eat your bread
(All night, alright)
Sweat of my brow
Eat your bread
(All night, alright)
Alright
All night (All night)
Alright (Alright)
[Verse 10]
Oh, yeah (Moon by night)
A-did you say now, oh yeah
(Hopeful and bright)
Working on a night shift
With the forklift (Moon by night)
Working on a night shift, yeah
Forklift (Hopeful and bright)
