[Verse 1] First day on the job, steel toes squeakin' Supervisor said, "There's somebody you're seekin'" I needed a key and a pallet tag Everybody pointed and waved a hand
"Check Receiving, he's probably there." I walked all the way, found empty air Lady at the desk just shook her head "Tony was here five minutes," she said
[Pre-Chorus] Every clue led somewhere new Every answer came with another route
[Chorus] Check Receiving! That's what they say Check Receiving! He's gone away Check Shipping! Check the yard! Check that aisle with the broken guard
Check Receiving! Round and round Everybody swears he's around I've walked ten miles in safety shoes And all I've got are secondhand clues
[Verse 2] Shipping sent me down to the docks Docks sent me back to inventory stock Inventory pointed toward aisle eight Aisle eight said, "Sorry, you're late."
I found a coffee cup on a pallet stack Still warm, so he couldn't be far from that Then somebody yelled from across the floor "Tony just left through that door!"
[Pre-Chorus] I started runnin', gave it a try But Tony stayed one step ahead of my eyes
[Chorus] Check Receiving! That's what they say Check Receiving! He's gone away Check Shipping! Check the yard! Check that aisle with the broken guard
Check Receiving! Round and round Everybody swears he's around I've walked ten miles in safety shoes And all I've got are secondhand clues
[Bridge] Now I'm wonderin' if he's even real Or some warehouse story the veterans tell A camo-pants ghost with a ring of keys Hauntin' forklifts and breakroom dreams
Then I heard a distant...
[SFX] JINGLE... JINGLE... JINGLE...
[Spoken] "Did you hear that?"
[Spoken] "Hear what?"
[Spoken] "The keys!"
[Instrument Break]
[Final Chorus] Check Receiving! One more time I swear I'm gonna lose my mind Every worker points somewhere Like Tony's made of warehouse air
Check Receiving! Round and round Everybody swears he's around First day here and now I see The warehouse runs on mystery
[Outro] Shift bell rang, day was through Still hadn't found the guy I was lookin' to But down the aisle, just for a beat I saw camo pants... then empty concrete.
