The Apprentice Song lyrics

Come on, lad, and bring your tool bag

Keep your eyes peeled, use your head

Bring your footprints, spanners, chisels

From now on they'll earn your bread

Keep your eye on the older fitters

They're the boys who know their stuff

One day you will do their job

If you're smart and keen enough

Come on, boys, and take your place

Among the men who serve their trade

Scalers, cokers, valvesmen, stokers

This is where the gas is made

Keep your eye on the old fairweather

Watch your gauge, you're on the town

Turn it out bang on four fifty

Or you'll let the housewife down

Wake up son, and mind your setting

B-range is the one to watch

Number three is due for scaling

See she don't get too much ash

Mind your eye with that red hot poker

Read your heat and see she's right

Leave your range in decent order

For the lads on shift tonight
