Description

I am the wonder hand at work -- they wonder if I'm going to show up! I recorded my bosses saying the things they tell me every day -- go home, don't drag no ass, why you always slow play me dog, don't charge for today, just go sit in the truck, don't talk to me Eddie etc. lol -- sad but true! but funny. the work in the oilfields is hot, dirty and dangerous -- we need some comic relief. usually I am the one to provide it and this is a good example :-)

Lyrics

here I am I am the wonder hand
I'm out standing by the water can
they say you ready I say I'm always ready
I am fast eddie ready to go to the house

and I'm doing the best I can with what very little is left
it's mind over matter they don't mind I don't matter

they say don't drag no don't drag no don't drag no
then they say don't charge for today

they say you ready I say I'm always ready
I am fast eddie ready to go to the house

and I'm doing the best I can with what very little is left
it's mind over matter they don't mind I don't matter

extra virgin oil fields
This is goofy fun... loved the interspersed commands... definitely creates a strange image as I grapple between the danger of those over-ripe olives and your wild circus-like music... oh wait, you mean PETROLEUM? OK, never mind about the extra virgins then! :-) Great fast work on this RPM thing, hope the boys like it!
ttfn,
