	There is a big click clack machine
	Whose engines don't pump gasoline
	It's a poundin' crazy arm that works all day
	It's run by all the people who
	Have got some blueprint plan to do
	So don't shake your head牢牢no, just nod and say "okay"
	And before i knew it, i got shoved in line
	Marchin' south in single file, and countin' off in time
	Chorus:
	(so, and) bring that pile driver over here and be quick
	We've got to dig a hole right now, so we can put in this stick
	We've got a hundred fourty-seven done, we only got a day
	So bring that pile driver over here right away
	Now here's a big wide open space
	So wipe that smile right off your face
	And replace it now with a look of stern regard
	It's the early bird that gets the worm
	So what happens when the worm will learn
	It's the older ways for new we will discard
	And someone sent us this big machine that guarantees
	There'll be no argument at all when we're packin' one of these
	Chorus repeat
	But wait a minute
	Did you hear it cough
	This crazy arm
	We can't turn off
	It's rollin' round
	And diggin' down a mile
	Look out牢牢this big machine
	Has gone hog wild!
	So look out, world, we're buildin' now
	When the hammer hits, the thumb says "ow!"
	Somewhere you know there's progress made
	One thing's for sure, we'll get our asphalt laid
	This big machine has run amuck
	And someone somewhere passed the buck
	So keep an ear out for that whistle call
	And duck when you see that wreckin' ball
	And hey, bob, don't light that match, we could explode
	I'll move some dirt while you block off the road
	Chorus repeat until fade

	There is a big click clack machine
	Whose engines don' t pump gasoline
	It' s a poundin' crazy arm that works all day
