It's Alright Lyrics
The sun shall not smite I by day,
Nor the moon by night;
And everything that I do
Shall be upfull and right.
And if it's all night,
It got to be (alright!)
If it's all night,
Got to be alright!
I'm a not lose this one;
I'm the lucky one under the sun.
If you make me move,
Then you know you got to groove:
a do ya like it, a do ya like it
do ya do ya do ya do you?
if it's (all night),
got to be (all right)
I'm workin (all night)
see, I Work for my pay, night and day (all night, alright)
Work for my pay, night and day (all night, alright)
can't you feel it (no no no no no nooo, ooooh)
can't you feel it (no no no no no nooo, ooooh)
if it's, if it's, if it's, it's got to be (alright!)
if it's (all night), if it's (alright!)
do you like it (all right, all right)
i talk old, square our fold (whoa whao!)
break it back, tear a drop
wipe a tears a from your eyes, and don't ya cry
wipe them lonely tears, baby
I'll tell you why
if it's all night, it got to be (alright!)
if it's all night, got to be (alright!)
(all right) know that I'm a stranger
in your town
Nor the moon by night;
And everything that I do
Shall be upfull and right.
And if it's all night,
It got to be (alright!)
If it's all night,
Got to be alright!
I'm the lucky one under the sun.
If you make me move,
Then you know you got to groove:
a do ya like it, a do ya like it
do ya do ya do ya do you?
if it's (all night),
got to be (all right)
I'm workin (all night)
Work for my pay, night and day (all night, alright)
can't you feel it (no no no no no nooo, ooooh)
can't you feel it (no no no no no nooo, ooooh)
if it's, if it's, if it's, it's got to be (alright!)
if it's (all night), if it's (alright!)
do you like it (all right, all right)
i talk old, square our fold (whoa whao!)
break it back, tear a drop
wipe a tears a from your eyes, and don't ya cry
wipe them lonely tears, baby
I'll tell you why
if it's all night, it got to be (alright!)
if it's all night, got to be (alright!)
(all right) know that I'm a stranger
in your town

this guy got stuck working the night shift, but it doesnt mean he wont get high. he'll smoke a joint at break to make the job go easier. "the sun shall not smite I by day, nor the moon by night" means that he always smokes, weather its in the day when people can see him or if its night when he might get caught. reminds me of the scene in "my best friends girl" when Dane Cook smokes with the chef at the wedding. that chef was working the night shift, but was still feeling alright to work all night.
I can't tell if I like this song better than Bob's "Night Shift" or not. Both songs have the same tune, first lyrics are straight from Psalm 121, but Night Shift clearly calls back to the days when Bob actually worked a fork lift truck in a car factory in Delaware on the night shift. Both are great great songs.
