The Machinist of Joy

You are the machinist

and at your will

all the machinery

is standing still

You walk and stand

eight hours a day

your strong arms

push the metal easily

You are the machinist

and at your will

all the machinery

is standing still

you are the machinist

the machinist of joy

du bist der machinist der freude

Body and mind

are in strong condition

you lift your tools

in every position

Sufficient experience

and mechanical skills

no pain no gain

to pay the bills

You are the machinist

and at your will

all the machinery

is standing still

you are the machinist

the machinist of joy

du bist der machinist der freude
