(Upbeat, jaunty foxtrot tempo with a strong brass section and a plucky banjo) (Verse 1) Sunrise gleams, a brand new day, the whistle calls, no time to play! Got my lunch pail, shoes all shined, leaving worries far behind! To the factory, grand and tall, where iron giants stand for all! Just like Dad, I'll join the crew, and make the company proud and true! (Chorus) Oh, the machine that juiced dear Dad, it wasn't really all that bad! He gave his all, a final squeeze, now profits soar, we're all at ease! A juicy legacy, I'll pursue, for industry and me and you! So crank the gears and let them hum, another loyal worker's come! (Verse 2) Mama cried a little tear, "Be careful, son, my greatest fear!" But I just laughed and waved goodbye, no time for worries, up so high! On the catwalk, sleek and grand, a panorama of the land! Below, the cogs and pistons gleam, fulfilling every corporate dream! (Chorus) Oh, the machine that juiced dear Dad, it wasn't really all that bad! He gave his all, a final squeeze, now profits soar, we're all at ease! A juicy legacy, I'll pursue, for industry and me and you! So crank the gears and let them hum, another loyal worker's come! (Bridge) Some folks fret and some folks frown, 'bout dangers lurking all around. But what's a little squish or splat, when progress calls and points you pat? A cog in the wheel, a vital part, a bursting, beating, loyal heart! For king and country, steel and might, we work with all our main and might! (Saxophone solo - playful and a bit theatrical) (Chorus) Oh, the machine that juiced dear Dad, it wasn't really all that bad! He gave his all, a final squeeze, now profits soar, we're all at ease! A juicy legacy, I'll pursue, for industry and me and you! So crank the gears and let them hum, another loyal worker's come! (Outro) So hoist a glass, don't shed a tear, for Dad, the pioneer! He gave his all, without a fuss, now greatness waits for all of us! (Band stinger with a final cymbal crash and a mischievous "Pop!")
