They pulled a fast one when they put me in charge
Couple extra bucks, it ain’t exactly living large
I gotta lot to do and I can’t leave til I’m done
Gotta crew of weirdos, but last month I was one

Hi I’m the night manager
Supervising rank amateur

We’re open all night so I guess you’re coming in
Pajamas and sports coat
Tryin’ to find the margarine
Never mind the stock guy higher than a Georgia pine
No matter what you ask he’s gonna tell you aisle nine

Yes I’m the night manager
Calculatin’ work/life balancer

Piped in music round the clock
Background loop of 80s pop
So What About Love sticks like clay
No, Ann Wilson, I won’t let it slip away
I might need it someday

I probably won’t last I’m already burning out
Cashier called in so now I’m covering checkout
Need to find a job where I can get home before dawn
I gotta lot to do and the list goes on and on and on and on…
I have a store key but we never really close
This institution of low-priced hi fructose
(2 for 1 on Oreos)
