Graveyard Shift Lyrics

Hurry, Igor
You don't want to be late your first day on the job
Master, do I have to work day?
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 day
I must have fresh graves for all the bodies coming in
Besides, you failed your vampire test last month

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 'til 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
I'll let you in

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
