Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hurry, Igor, you don't want to be late your first day on the job
Master, do I have to work again?
Yes, Igor, I pulled a lot of strings to get you this position
Master, I want to work nights with Count Dracula
His crew is already full
Besides, I need you on days
I must have fresh graves for all the bodies coming in
Besides, you failed your vampire test last month
[Verse 2]
But master, they're doing a new dance at midnight
A new dance, Igor? What's it called?
The Shift, master
Hundreds of bodies rise from their graves each night
And do the Graveyard Shift till dawn
Sounds like a gas, Igor
I think I'll fall by tonight and see what's happening
Master, will you put me on nights now?
I'll see what's going on, Igor
