[Verse 1]
"Oh please, don't send me out"
Said the man with the hammer hammerin' the anvil
"I've been walking on a road of rocks
And I keep on hammerin', keep on hammerin', keep on hammerin'
Hammerin' the anvil"

[Verse 2]
"Don't let the sun go down"
Said the man with the fire firin' the furnace
"I've been buried in the snow
And I keep on firin', keep on firin', keep on firin'
Firin' the furnace"

[Verse 3]
"Oh, don't talk to me"
Said the man with the chisel chiselin' the surface
"I've been sleepin' far too long
And I keep on chiselin', keep on chiselin', keep on chiselin'
Chiselin' the surface"

[Verse 4]
"I don't know what you mean"
Said the man with the shovel shovelin' the ashes
"I've been diggin' in the frozen ground
But I keep on shovelin', keep on shovelin', keep on shovelin'
Shovelin' the ashes"
[Outro]
Chiselin' the surface
Firin' the furnace
Hammerin' the anvil
Hammerin' the anvil
Firin' the furnace
Chiselin' the surface
Shovelin' the ashes
Yeah, hammerin' the anvil
Yeah, hammerin' the anvil (Oh ten people)
Yeah, hammerin' the anvil (Go somewhere down)
Yeah, hammerin' the anvil (Don't talk to me)
Oh, hammerin' the anvil (I don't know what you mean)
Shovelin' the ashes (Oh what you mean)
Chiselin' the surface (Oh don't send me out)
Send me out to the furnace (Don't let the sun go down)
Chiselin' the surface (Oh don't talk to me)
Hammerin' the anvil (Oh don't talk to me)
Oh, hammerin' the anvil (I know what you need)
Oh, hammerin' the anvil (for I done all I should)
Shovelin' the surface (Please don't send me out)
Hammerin' the anvil (Oh don't send me out)
Oh, hammerin the anvil (Oh don't let the sun go down)
Yeah, hammerin' the anvil (Oh don't send me out)
Yeah, hammerin' the anvil (Please don't send me out)
Oh, hammerin' the anvil (Don't send me out)
Yeah, hammerin' the anvil (Don't talk to me)
Hammerin' the anvil (Don't talk to me)
