Forklift Geometry

[Verse 1] Started like any other shift Movin' pallets with the lifts Aisle seventeen was runnin' smooth Till three drivers made the wrong move One went left and one went right One backed up at the perfect time Now they're nose-to-tail and side-to-side Like somebody tied their forks in a knot inside [Pre-Chorus] Everybody stopped and gathered 'round Scratchin' heads and lookin' down [Chorus] Forklift geometry! Defyin' reality! Three machines and no way through A warehouse puzzle nobody knew Forklift geometry! Industrial mystery! We tried everything we could see But it didn't add up mathematically [Verse 2] Jimmy said, "Pull forward slow." Dave said, "Back up." Nobody knows. Supervisor drew a little map Made the whole thing look even worse than that Inventory guy brought a marker board Started sketchin' diagrams galore Twenty minutes later we all agreed The drawing somehow trapped four more fleets [Pre-Chorus] The radios buzzed, the drivers sighed That's when somebody whispered nearby [Spoken] "Get Tony." [Chorus] Forklift geometry! Defyin' reality! Three machines and no way through A warehouse puzzle nobody knew Forklift geometry! Industrial mystery! Every expert on the floor Just made it worse than before [Bridge] Then from behind a pallet wall A steel-toe clunk cut through it all [SFX] CLUNK... Heads turned. Nobody saw where he came from. Camo pants. Red hardhat. Coffee cup. Tony. He looked once. He looked twice. Then... [SFX] TAP. (Taps the hardhat.) [Instrument Break] Three forklifts reverse. One turns left. One turns right. One backs out. Perfect. Like the warehouse itself obeyed him. [Final Chorus] Forklift geometry! Solved instantly! No equations on the board No fancy plans nobody could afford Forklift geometry! Warehouse wizardry! Before we could ask him how Tony disappeared somehow [Outro] Three forklifts free and the aisle ran clear Everybody cheered, but he wasn't here Just a fading sound drifted through the scene [SFX] JINGLE... JINGLE... And a warm coffee cup where he'd been.
