Hed get up in the morning to hammer in them spikes
Unless hed been up drinking the previous night
Or if his bones werent feeling right
Or if it looked like it was going to rain
He had a tendency of being late for work
And everyone around thought he was a jerk
Hed take long breaks and say his back was hurt
Then hed have a drink to ease the pain

Mike: awww, already?
Mikes dad: well, dont you want to hammer in them spikes?
Mike: no.
Mikes dad: oh.
His arms were like twigs and his legs were like straws
His hands were like a babys bum they were so soft
Hed wheeze and moan and whine and cough
Then go home and take a little nap
He never got fired cuz he was the boss son
He just hung around and bothered everyone
Never drove a spike, not a single one
Though now and then hed give a tap
