lyrics

(Spoken Intro) Do you ever wonder about those ladies you see
Leaning on lampposts on the other side of town
Looking so glamorous and sexy
But you know, there's another side to the story
Life is not always what it appears to be
They say that every picture tells a story etc.

(Verse 1) Nurse on the night ward, hospital for problem-child men
Florence Nightingale's got nothing on You, Baby, Say It Again
Treating the nine to five, plastic macks get into their acts
Dealing with the debris of respectability keeping executive marriages intact
It's the oldest profession in the whole wide world
But that don't make you respectable, Girl, on the Night Shift
(Chorus) On The Night Shift, all the credit card carrying gents
On The Night Shift, Get their legitimate expense
On The Night Shift, Spend their happy happy hour
On The Night Shift, With the Women In Power
(Verse 2) Even the Internal Revenue wants their slice of cake
Even though they say you're illegally on the take
Even though they claim you're not legit
They still want their little bit
City politicians and real-estate sharks
Stop you from posing on lamp posts and run you off the block
Police predators on the jungle beat
Praying on your meat when they cross your beat
You're tough and tender and such a troubled breed
Dealing in affairs of the heart
Fantasy and frustration that need to be freed
Keeping the World from coming apart
Chorus
