Oh please don't send me out Said the man with the hammer, Hammering the anvil I been walking on a road of rocks And I keep on hammering, Keep on hammering, Keep on hammering, Hammering the anvil Don't let the sun go down Said the man with the fire, Firing the furnace I been buried in the snow And I keep on firing, Keep on firing, Keep on firing, Firing the furnace Oh don't talk to me Said the man with the chisel, Chiseling the surface I been sleeping far too long And I keep on chiseling, Keep on chiseling, Keep on chiseling, Chiseling the surface I don't know what you mean Said the man with the shovel, Shoveling the ashes I been digging in the frozen ground And I keep on shoveling, Keep on shoveling, Keep on shoveling, Shoveling the ashes Shoveling the ashes Chiseling the surface Firing the furnace Hammering the anvil
