[Verse 1] Paper on the table, little tray in a row You trim, I twist, let the whole shift flow Jar lids click like a time clock punch One rolls clean while the next gets crunched Labels on the tins, keep the flavors in line You pass me the pack, I pass you the twine No boss with a whistle, just a friend on the crew We clock out when the last one’s through [Chorus] Back to back, let the whole line roll One for the table, one for the stroll Pass it along, keep the corners tight Little shop running till the batch looks right Back to back, let the whole line roll Easy hands, steady pace, that’s the code [Verse 2] Milo counts the papers, Dee checks the tray I’m folding each edge like rent’s due today A crooked one gets a laugh and a fix Then it’s right back down to the assembly-line tricks No fancy machine, just a practiced pair A pinch, a tuck, and a careful repair When the daylight slants through the kitchen blinds We’re stacking up neat little rows by design [Chorus] Back to back, let the whole line roll One for the table, one for the stroll Pass it along, keep the corners tight Little shop running till the batch looks right Back to back, let the whole line roll Easy hands, steady pace, that’s the code [Bridge] Hold that end, smooth that seam Everybody working like a tiny team Set that finished row beside the tin Take a quick count, then begin again [Final Chorus] Back to back, let the whole line roll One for the table, one for the stroll Pass it along, keep the corners tight Little shop running till the batch looks right Back to back, let the whole line roll Easy hands, steady pace, that’s the code [Outro] Tray to tray, neat little row Shift’s all done—now take it slow
