Night Work Lyrics

Hare:
Welcome to our nocturnal vocation
Disembalming we grimly extract the expired
Disinterring by lanthorn illumination
To fulfill anatomists' cadaverous desires

Dr. Knox:
Giving Nightwatchmen fits
With the mortsafes you've picked
Finding fresh graves to dig,
I must say it's a hell of a gig

Chorus:
Night work be done,
The lifeless made graveless, our prize to be won
Exhumed by torchlight, dead weight dead to rights
This night work, an unholy sight, undertaken tonight

Hare:
A livelihood in death we scrape
Your casket vacant, corpse taken forthwith
From our fell spades you will not escape
Second coming ignominious, unclean and sick

Dr. Knox:
Wooden shovels and picks,
From your tomb you'll be nicked
Sink to new depths of sick,
Compunction cut to the quick

Chorus:
Night work be done,
The lifeless made graveless, our prize to be won
Exhumed by torchlight, dead weight dead to rights
This night work, an unholy sight, undertaken tonight

Solo: Matthew Harvey

Dr. Knox:
It's a dirty job, finding fresh graves to rob

Solo: Michael Burke

Dr. Knox:
These are dirty deeds, six feet of dirt, dug dirt cheap

Solo: Matthew Harvey

Dr. Knox:
It's a dirty job, finding fresh graves to rob
Toil as the casket's slaves, death is our living wage

Chorus:
Night work be done,
The lifeless made graveless, our prize to be won
Exhumed by torchlight, dead weight dead to rights
This night work, an unholy sight, undertaken this -

Night work be done,
The lifeless made graveless, our prize to be won
Exhumed by torchlight, dead weight dead to rights
This night work, an unholy sight, undertaken tonight
