[Verse 1] Last panel. The top went into the groove we had routed. A little play. Foaming glue along the edge. We set it down. No straps. A heavy book to spread the load. On top, a round red weight. One kilo. [Refrain] Check it again. Not yet. Leave it there. [Verse 2] Book still there. Red weight still on top. We checked the edge. Pressed once. Didn't pull it tighter. Left it alone. [Refrain] Check it again. Not yet. Leave it there. [Verse 3] Book off. Weight off. The panel held. Top veneer went on next. Two kinds of wax melted on a small burner. Brush dipped in. His turn. Mine. We let it sit. Then the cloth. The walnut grain came through. [Outro] One more pass. Then none. The Seas badge never went on.
