Lyrics
Yo, who's got the toolbox?
Not the nurse, not the doc
If it rattles, if it squeaks
Call the tech with scuffed up kicks
Who's got the toolbox?
Who's got the toolbox?
Yo, yo Rolled out of the workshop, coffee in my hand
Maintenance request, please fix what you can
Two missing screwdrivers, one socket gone I blame the repair cart that keeps rolling on
Through the crowded hallways, elbows left and right
A porter yells, buddy, can you save my life?
A clerk waves a clipboard, a pager starts to sing I'm carrying spare parts like a hardware king
From the basement to the ward
Everybody knows the call
When a little thing goes wrong I'm the hero down the hall
Hey, who's got the toolbox?
We got the toolbox
Hey, who can fix it?
Call all the technicians
Screw it, roll it, roll it down the line
Coffee in the cup and the repair cart's mine
Hey, hey, who's got the toolbox?
We, we, we got the toolbox
Radiology's calling, there's a rattle in the room
Pharmacy's shouting, can you make this drawer go zoom?
Lab needs a bracket,
ICU needs a chair
Someone in the lobby says the handrail's acting rare I kneel by the cart, parts scattered on the floor
Find three mystery washers and a button from my door
My co-worker says, you plan that? I say, absolutely
Then the toolbox sneezes out a spring at my knee
Who lost the driver?
Check the cart Who filed the request?
Every part! Who needs a quick fix?
All of us! Who brought the coffee?
That's the trust!
Hey! Hey! Who's got the toolbox?
We got the toolbox.
Who can fix it?
Call the technician.
Screw it, roll it, roll it down the line.
Coffee in the cup and the repair cart's mine.
Who's got the toolbox?
We got the toolbox.
A loose little handle, a crooked little sign, a squeaky little wheel that refuses to align
No cape on my back, just a vest and a grin, if the whole place is humming everybody wins
So pass me the wrench, wait, where did it go?
Check the pocket mark, things I should know
Hey, hey, who's got the toolbox?
We, we, we, we, we got the toolbox
Hey, hey, who can fix it?
Call, call the technician
Screw it, bolt it, roll it down the line
Coffee in the cup and the repair cart's mine
Co-workers call and help us please I'm dancing through the hospital with spare parts on my knee
Hey, hey, who's got the toolbox?
We, we, we, we, we got the toolbox
Missing screwdrivers, but we'll find them someday
Crowded hallway,
make a little way
One more request before I clock out
Who put a wrench in the coffee spout?
Who's got the toolbox?
Who's got the toolbox?
