Round the year of '55 on old Tau Ceti Prime A mile beneath the methane ice way down in the mines Some shirker lit a smoke, Forgot the hatch was closed The blast knocked off the miner's block but exposed a mother lode Accidents happen, it's part of the job Hats off to our workers who lose parts on the job Progress costs an arm, a leg, or sometimes even more But that's what your Autodoc discount's for Not so long ago on a tidally locked moon Some greenhorn tripped a valve In a chemical plant gloom Brown sludge flooded the place The vat manager chanced a taste He didn't survive but now we've got instant Boarstloaf Paste. Accidents happen, it's part of the job Hats off to our workers who lose parts on the job Management regrets your loss But hey, that's a win! Sometimes getting ahead means giving up a limb One recent fiscal year, To kick workers into gear, Auntie asked for a new stim that keeps minds crystal clear Test subjects worked all day But they shit out all their gray Presenting Liftoff Laxative, hooray! (Bombs away!) Accidents happen, it's part of the job Hats off to our workers who lose parts on the job Progress costs an arm, a leg, sometimes even more But that's what your Autodoc discount's for Accidents happen, it's part of the job Hats off to our workers who lose parts on the job Management regrets your loss But hey, that's a win! Sometimes getting ahead means giving up a limb Sometimes getting ahead means giving up a limb Sometimes getting ahead means giving up a limb
