[Verse 1] Alex clocks in with his lunch in a tin They call him Peepaw, though he’s hardly grown in On the sewer jetter crew, he’s got a steady hand Till Chew starts barking orders like a one-man marching band [Pre-Chorus] “Check that hose, check that gauge, check it all again” Alex counts to seven, then he starts again [Chorus] Peepaw, Peepaw, keeping it together Chew’s got him chasing every little lever Down the city pipes, where the workdays never end Peepaw’s one bad checklist from a nervous breakdown, friend [Verse 2] Chew says, “Hit that valve,” then, “No, the other side” Alex swaps the fittings while the crew just watches wide-eyed A lunch bell rings, but Chew has one more thing to say “Could you jet that stretch again? We might’ve missed a bay.” [Pre-Chorus] “Check that hose, check that gauge, check it all again” Alex grips his sandwich and he counts to ten [Chorus] Peepaw, Peepaw, keeping it together Chew’s got him chasing every little lever Down the city pipes, where the workdays never end Peepaw’s one bad checklist from a nervous breakdown, friend [Bridge] He’s not old enough for all this “back in my day” But they call him Peepaw anyway Chew leans in with another plan to relay Alex smiles and says, “Sure, Chew. Just not today.” [Instrumental Break] [Final Chorus] Peepaw, Peepaw, dancing through the pressure Chew can keep his clipboard and his endless measures Down the city pipes, he’s still the crew’s best friend Peepaw shuts the truck door, and the workday finally ends [Outro] Alex heads home, puts his boots away Peepaw’s off duty till the next workday
