[00:00.000] 作曲 : John Mondelli
[00:12.23]Some time ago in the city run solely on steam
[00:17.86]The power plant workers would rise and stick to routine
[00:23.92]Breakin' their backs 'til their work shirts were dirty and brown
[00:29.80]As year after year, they'd work for the good of the town
[00:35.79]As parts would get old, these men would make the repairs
[00:41.83]Changing out axles and belts with meticulous care
[00:47.75]Working their hands to the bone and slaving away
[00:53.65]They'd press on with diligence and as they strained you could hear them say,
[00:59.85]"With our blood, sweat, and tears
[01:02.70]And the grinding of gears
[01:05.69]We shall slave to keep our beautiful city alive!
[01:11.62]"Yes, with blood, sweat, and tears
[01:14.66]And the passing of years
[01:17.61]We'll expend ourselves so our fair people may thrive!"
[01:24.27]One afternoon Frederick Worthington clocked into work
[01:29.90]He went to his station not knowing the danger that lurked
[01:35.73]He pulled on the lever to start up the massive machine
[01:41.72]But deep in the workings was something he had not foreseen
[01:47.82]The pistons were pumping as pressure began to accrue
[01:53.81]And suddenly one of the tanks had to give, and it blew
[01:59.79]Frederick was knocked back into an assortment of gears
[02:05.67]And there in an instant he came to an end with his GREATEST FEAR!
[02:11.66]And with blood, sweat, and tears
[02:14.50]And the grinding of gears
[02:17.55]This disaster happened in front of our terrified eyes
[02:23.32]Yes, with blood, sweat, and tears
[02:26.51]In his premature years
[02:29.46]Frederick met his unfortunate, wholly untimely demise
[03:00.06]So with blood, sweat, and tears
[03:02.80]We must face what we fear
[03:05.84]And although it's tragic, and everyone's sad that he's gone
[03:11.82]With our blood, sweat, and tears
[03:14.76]We return to our gears
[03:17.95]This city still needs us to work, so we must carry on
[03:23.78]With our blood, sweat, and tears
[03:26.63]And the grinding of gears
[03:29.72]We shall slave to keep our beautiful city alive!
[03:35.66]Yes, with blood, sweat, and tears
[03:38.59]And the passing of years
[03:41.63]We'll expend ourselves so our fair people may thrive!
[03:51.17]Blood, sweat, and tears!
