What a difference a day makes! :)

it's strange how things go smoothly
when you know what you're
supposed to be doing  - the work is
hard, don't get me wrong, but when
you're part of a team, you
can accomplish great things

i earned my pay
in ev'ry way

yes, i'm tired, but it's a good
kind of tired; muscles i
forgot existed and owned are sore
not complaining; proud
of the job i did today
stacking dishes

i kept 'em full
that ain't no bull

was so busy, didn't get to eat
i whistled while i pushed
huge HEAVY dish carts to the line
and greeted everyone i met with
a smile on my face
work was actually fun

it went by fast
the time that passed

no more stressing out; i've
discovered the key to
my happiness
have a great attitude
wish i'd learned that earlier
saved myself some grief

that's not to say
won't have THOSE days

now that i know i can do the job
and do it well
there'll be no reason to doubt
myself
i'm the best dang dish stacker
they've ever had

so is my twin
partnered, they win

two small cogs in the wheel
without us, our bosses notice
a difference
they miss us when we're not there
tomorrow, they will
since both of us will be off

we can relax
and rest our backs

maybe a raise will be in our future
we proved ourselves today
to be worthy employees
couldn't say that yesterday
i feel we did good today
that's what matters

bosses happy
and so are we
