Let's hear it for the road crew 1-2-3,
On stage or in the crowd, sat down or on your feet,
They set things up to give you what you need,
So let's get them working, let's get them working.

I'm sorry about that time I couldn't stop breaking my strings,
I'd stayed out late the night before and then I couldn't sing.
You fixed up my guitar and brought me tea out from the wings
So I could struggle to the finish line and keep the tour in swing.

Let's hear it for the road crew, check one-two.
If you want there to be festivals, they know just what to do.
Behind the scenes they work for me and you,
So let's get them working, let's get them working.

I'm sorry about that time I was complaining about the sound
While leaning on the mixing desk and shouting really loud.
You did your best with what you had to entertain the crowd
While the idiots on stage knocked shit over and kept on dancing around.

How does this thing work? What's the wi-fi network?
Can my new best friend get a free shirt? How does this thing work?
Where does this thing go? What time is the show?
Is the guest list full, do you know? Where does this thing go?
I lost my backstage pass; can I upgrade to business class?
I can't hear the bass, can you turn it up? I lost my backstage pass.
Can we got back on tour? I don't mean to be a bore,
I can't do it without you, that's for sure. Can we go back on tour?

Let's hear it for the road crew, they make events
On both sides of the barrier, in a bar or in a tent,
They make the show happen, so let's give them their due:
Let's hear it for the road crew, check one-two.
Let's hear it for the road crew.
