It goes up, it goes down It goes up and then again it goes down And it feels like the whole damn town Are honking their horns cuz it's taking so long
I'm a steel bridge tender (4x)
Well the boats gather round Yeah the boats they all gather around But I hold all the power So I only let them go through once an hour
I'm a steel bridge tender (4x)
Everyone says she's old Everyone says she's old I don't know but I've been told
I'm a steel bridge tender (4x)
