lyrics

I want to hear the sound of a Bridgeport lathe
It's metal to metal it really is
Your basic ordinary men they work at Bend-On gear
'Cause the screech of sheering metal is what they're gonna hear

Foxy secretaries make a point of passing through the plant
& they know you want them to show it all
But you might just get your arm torn off
If you look up for too long from your Gletcher grind-all

(c)
I've worked on Bessemer convertors on the Cheekawakka Plains
I've even done third shift on antiquated screw machines
I'd even rather work in slaughterhouses in Niagara Falls
The Bridgeport lathe has got me by the balls

There's no time to sneak a cigarette or read a novel by Ayn Rand
& you don't have to do container work to get canned
The boss man he is standing by the men he's always near
'Cause the screech of sheering metal is what he's paid to hear

I want to hear the sound of a Bridgeport lathe
It's metal to metal it really is
Your basic ordinary men they work at Bend-On gear
'Cause the screech of sheering metal is what they wanna hear
