Hold The Roll - Gas Huffer

Handsome and reliable,

His hand controls the fate of this whole crew

His assistants are so pliable,

Whatever this thing takes

That’s what they’ll do

When he rises he’ll pause and pray,

That from the morning 'till the end of the day

He’s never gonna have to say

Hold the roll

Get control

The water gag is ready, all the actors

Have their action, and their marks

Lock it up, he says

And things are tight beneath the bright

Electric arcs

What’s that moving in the back

The dolly’s fallen off it’s track

Somebody’s gonna get the sack

Hold the roll

Get control

The overtime is mounting

The producer’s hand is curled into a fist

Our fearless leader’s edging closer

To the dreaded do-not-contact list

We only need to get one take

There will not be another break

The camera’s tumbled into the lake

Hold the roll

Get control
