[finger snapping] [vocal intro] ooh ohh! ooohhh oh oh! ooh ohh! ooohhh oh oh! ooh ohh ooohhh, ohh ohh oh! [Verse] I just find myself down with the blues wearing blue collars and even bluer shoes with a job that is keeping me low and not even that much money for show [Pre Chorus: buildup] But I got one perk that no-one knows it’s my sole reason why me goes I just step up and shout out loud to the guy that is driving about: [Chorus: harmonic, uplifting] Mr. Forklift Driver Lift me High! Raise me Up into the Sky! Lift my Soul up straight to heaven, [enthusiastic] Because it’s my break at five past eleven! [Verse] Occupational Safety might hate me for this, but it’s always giving me my dose of bliss, Yes, my soul is crushed by mindless routine and my self is reduced to a cog in the machine [Pre Chorus: buildup] But I got one perk that no-one knows it’s my sole reason why me goes I just step up and shout out loud to the guy that is driving about: [Chorus: harmonic, uplifting] Mr. Forklift Driver Lift me High! Raise me Up into the Sky! Lift my Soul up straight to heaven, [enthusiastic] Because it’s my break at five past eleven! [Verse] And Over the Years I might grow old always doing as I am told, Let them carry my corpse from the yard, in a box meant for rancy lard… [Pre Chorus: emotional buildup] But I got one perk that no-one knows it’s my sole reason why me goes Today it’s without a sound, but it’s the same guy driving me around! [Chorus: harmonic, uplifting] Mr. Forklift Driver Lift me High! Raise me Up into the Sky! Lift my Soul up straight to heaven, [enthusiastic] Because it’s my break at sixty-seven! [Outtro] Raise Me Up into the Sky! Let my Soul and Spirit Fly! You’ve always been there for me! Now I'm waiting till you are free. Raise Me Up into the Sky! Let my Soul and Spirit Fly! You’ve been there for me, and now I’m waiting to lift thee. [Fade to Silence]
