Hold The Roll

Lyrics

Handsome and reliable His hand controls the fate Of this whole crew His assistants are so pliable Water this thing t makes That's what the'll do When he rises He will pause and pray That from the morning Till the end of day He's never going To have to say Hold the roll Get control Hold the roll The water gag is ready All the actors Have their action And their marks "Lock it up" he says And things are Tight beneath The bright electric arcs What's that moving In the back? The dolly's fallen Off of its neck Somebody's going To get the sack Hold the roll Get control Hold the roll The overtime Is mounting The producer's Hand is curled Into a fist Our fearless leader's Edging closer To the dreaded "Do not contact" list We only need To get one take There will not be Another break The camera's tumbled Into the lake Hold the roll Get control Hold the roll Hold the roll
