Song of the Sewer - John Lithgow, Wayne Knight

I wake in the sewer, it’s a very hard job

You know they won’t hire just any old slob

You don’t have to wear a tie or a coat

You just have to know, how to float

We sing the song of the sewer

Of the sewer, we sing this song

Together we stand with shovel in hand

To keep things rolling along

I wake down a manhole with a guy named Bruce

And we are in-charge of all the refuse

He lets me go first while he holds the lid

I’m telling you, what a sweet kid

We sing the song of the sewer

Of the sewer, we sing this song

Together we stand with shovel in hand

To keep things rolling along

A funny thing happened to Bruce yesterday

The tide came along, he got carried away

He come in Jersey, but it’s okay now

'Cause that’s where he lives anyhow

We sing the song of the sewer

Of the sewer, we sing this song

Together we stand with shovel in hand

To keep things rolling along

My father, he works in a sewer uptown

I followed his footsteps and wait my way down

That’s how I began in this here industry

I just kind of fell into it, a lucky me

We sing the song of the sewer

Of the sewer, we sing this song

Together we stand with shovel in hand

To keep things rolling along
