Hey, hey, he's got fire,
We finally fired up the oven
And it's starting to get warm in here,
And it was about goddamn time
We have to be up in Kringsjå at 5,
You know it's far and a long time ahead
And you gotta dig maestro, dig maestro
Gotta keep the oven warm
Gotta keep the oven warm
Keep up the pace
It's already going too slow,
How many times have I told you?
And you gotta stomp with your peg leg,
Or we won't make it in time
It should be hard to work at a steam locomotive
To work at a steam locomotive
To work at a steam locomotive
To work at a steam locomotive
Hey, hey, what is it now,
That has lied down on my tracks over there?
Is it one of these volunteers?
Get up, or I run you over!
Because we have to be up in Kringsjå at 5,
You know it's far and a long time ahead
And you gotta dig maestro, dig maestro
Gotta keep the oven warm
Gotta keep it warm
Keep up the pace
It's already going too slow,
How many times have I told you?
And you gotta stomp with your peg leg,
Or we won't make it in time
It should be hard to work at a steam locomotive
To work at a steam locomotive
Be reasonable now, drop the gun
Be reasonable now, drop the gun
Be reasonable now, drop the gun
Be reasonable now, drop the gun
Be reasonable
Keep up the pace
It's already going too slow,
How many times have I told you?
And you gotta stomp with your peg leg,
Or we won't make it in time
It should be hard to work at a steam locomotive
To work at a steam locomotive
To work at a steam locomotive
To work at a steam locomotive
