[Verse 1] We started the work when the spring sun was high, With shovels and steel ‘neath a clear blue sky. But the Corps changed the plan, now we sit and we say, While the dollars drift slowly away… [Chorus 1] What’s another day? What’s another day? The Weir won’t rise till the saints all pray, So what’s another day? [Verse 2] They promised us answers, they promised us speed, They promised decisions we desperately need. But deadlines keep passin’ like ships on the bay, And still all the work’s pushed away. [Chorus 2] What’s another day? What’s another day? The winter rains wash our hopes away, So what’s another day? [Verse 3] The crews grow restless, the concrete waits, While the Corps debates behind locked gates. And when we ask “When?” they just smile and say, “Ah, sure, lad, we’ll get back someday…” [Chorus 3] What’s another day? What’s another day? A million’s burned, but that’s okay— So what’s another day? [Bridge – Spoken, with a fiddle flourish] We’ve watched the sun set, we’ve watched it rise, While the Corps writes plans and redraws lies. We’ve burned through the spring, now the summer’s away, And winter comes callin’ to stay! [Chorus 4] What’s another day? What’s another day? The whole site floods, we rebuild anyway, So what’s another day? [Finale Chorus – Big group shout, clinking pints] What’s another day? What’s another day? The Weir’s still mud ‘til Judgment Day, So pour another pint, lads—HEY!
