dis waste disposal job
heavy business
we be on duty
all de daylight
always watchin
always searchin
it not classy work
an we not pretty pretty
mus have sharp beak
long neck
no feathers on important bits
to get inside de business
mind you
deres incentives
who get dere first
get bes pickings
it not take long
clean out carcass
cow take half hour
when team assembled
we not like men
muss de world up
figure how clean it after
we no leave food untended
more than one minute
glide birds watch
for first sign dinner
an if we find de dinner dying
we don wait no funeral director
cut out de middle man
kill it dead kill it dead
