Lyrics

4 .55 on a

Friday Oh no!

Hazard notice on the screen

Oh no!

Jacket on, keys out, halfway out the door

Then the screen lit up, I'm not leaving anymore

A model that we own and a page of serial numbers

Now it's hide and seek with pumps and the weekend's going under 4 .55 on a

Friday Whoa! Class 1, drop everything

Whoa! Class 3, up!

Okay, breathe, but find every last one before

Monday

System says we own them, but the shelf is bare

Found one in a closet where a union stash to spare

Nurses lose up to an hour, a shift, hunting gear

Checking every hallway till the last one's here 4 .55 on a

Friday, whoa Class one, drop everything, whoa

Class three, okay, breathe, but find every last one before

Monday Nearly 4 ,000 recalled in five years

Everyone's somebody's Friday cheer

Sometimes the early warning beats the recall to the door

So we move before it's final

That's what weekends are for

Tag it, pull it, log it, next

Tag it, pull it, log it, next 4 .55 on a

Friday Class one, drop everything

Class three, okay, breathe

But find every last one before

Monday Fun day, morning,

everyone accounted for Oh, now can I go

home?

Now can I go home?
