Marvin, (Marvin),
He was a friend of mine.
And he could sing a song,
His heart in every line.
Marvin (Marvin, Marvin),
Sang of the joy and pain.
He opened up our minds,
And I still can hear him say,
"Aw, talk to me so you can see,
What's goin' on."
Say you will sing your songs,
Forever more, (ever more, ever more).
Gonna be some sweet sounds
Comin' down the nightshift.
I bet you're singin' proud.
Oh, I bet you pull a crowd.
Gonna be a long night.
It's gonna be all right.
On the nightshift.
You found another home.
I know you're not alone,
On the nightshift. Oh-oh.
You found another home.
I know you're not alone,
On the nightshift.
(Nighshift.)
Jackie (Jackie), mmmm-mmm-mmm,
Hey, what you're doin' now?
It seems like yesterday,
When we were workin' out.
Jackie (Jackie), wo-oh (wo-oh),
You set the world on fire (fire),
You came and gifted us,
Your love, it lifted us,
Higher and higher.
Keep it up and we'll be there,
At your side.
Oh, oh-oh, Say you will sing your songs,
Forever more, (ever more, ever more).
Gonna be some sweet sounds
Comin' down the nightshift.
I bet you're singin' proud.
Oh, I bet you pull a crowd.
Gonna be a long night.
(Gonna be a long night.)
It's gonna be all right.
On the nightshift.
You found another home.
I know you're not alone,
On the nightshift.
Gonna be some sweet sounds
(Sweet sounds.)
Comin' down on the nightshift.
(Woah, on the nightshift.)
I bet you're singin' proud.
(Know you're singin' proud.)
Oh, I bet you pull a crowd.
(Oh, yeah.)
Gonna be a long night.
(Gonna be all right.)
It's gonna be all right.
On the nightshift.
Fade.
(On the nightshift.)
You found another home.
I know you're not alone,
On the nightshift.
