Lyrics
**[Verse 1]**
Out on site, crack o' dawn,
Steel and sweat, a new day born.
Gridlines set, foundations laid,
With every tie, mate, we get paid.
**[Chorus]**
Bonce down, arse up, twist and tie,
Steel dance, hands prance, reachin' for the sky.
Bonce down, arse up, we’re the iron crew,
Buildin' dreams in metal, through and through.
**[Verse 2]**
Sun beats down, muscles ache,
Every rod, for goodness sake.
Measure twice, cut it neat,
In this grind, we won’t get beat.
**[Chorus]**
Bonce down, arse up, twist and tie,
Steel dance, hands prance, reachin' for the sky.
Bonce down, arse up, we’re the iron crew,
Buildin' dreams in metal, through and through.
**[Bridge]**
Racking in the weight, bish bosh, there’s more dosh,
Pick up bars, run run run, drop, no slosh.
Endo here and endo there,
Here a bar, there a bar, nice mate, fair.
Trucks in, rigging out, clear the truck, the lorry out.
**[Piano Accordion Solo]**
(Accordion plays a lively, upbeat melody reflecting the rhythm of the work, with a blend of traditional and playful tones to match the industrious spirit of the song.)
**[Chorus]**
Bonce down, arse up, twist and tie,
Steel dance, hands prance, reachin' for the sky.
Bonce down, arse up, we’re the iron crew,
Buildin' dreams in metal, through and through.
**[Outro]**
On this ground, we leave our mark,
Iron warriors, through the dark.
Bonce down, arse up, we forge ahead,
In the rebar's song, our spirit’s wed.
**[Cockney Narration]**
"Right, listen up, you cheeky lot! We’ve grafted ‘ard all day long, and now the job’s a good ‘un. From the crack o' dawn ‘til the sun’s nearly gone, we’ve been twisting, tying, and stacking like pros. We’ve got our bangers and mash sorted, no trouble, and our lorries cleared and ready for the next round. So, here’s to the lot of us, from bonce down to arse up, we’ve built it proper. Give yerselves a pat on the back, 'cause this rebar’s not just iron, it’s our blood, sweat, and tears. Cheers, mate!"

How’s that for a finish?
