Songs in Episode 5: The Thirty-Minute Work Week


1. Workin', Workin' [02:20]

Performed by: The Fraggles and the Doozers

Wake up in the morning, get yourself to work.
Fraggles never fool around, Fraggles never shirk.
Your duty's always waiting, and duty must be done.
There's Ping-Pong games that must be played,
And songs that must be sung.

Workin', workin', workin', workin'
Workin', workin', workin', workin'

I'd like to tell the story of what my work is for.
A tail of toil and gathering and radishes and more.
But don't forget my mighty job the lonely tough routine.
I dive and crash and swim and splash to keep the water clean.

Workin' (x's 16)

When I was just a baby, Pappy used to roam.
Mama told me, Sonny boy, your work won't be at home.
Go to were your going, come back when you've been.
Get out that door, explore, explore and bring back pink ice cream.
And you'll be workin'

Workin' (x's 8)

Give me work that's boring, boring to the core.
A job that goes on much too long and then goes on some more.
The work I think I'll work at,
Or else I think I won't,
Well it's sort of something that you do,
Unless you maybe don't?
And you'll be workin'

Workin' (x's 9)

Wake up in the morning, get yourself to work.
Fraggles never fool around, Fraggles never shirk.
Your duty's always waiting, duty must be done.
There's Ping-Pong games that must be played, 
And songs that must be sung
And you'll be workin'

Workin' ...

2. The Fireman's Anthem [01:47]

Performed by: The Fraggle Rock Volunteer Fire Department

When evening draws near,
We all gather here,
With tales of the fires we have known (we have known).
We pull on our boots,
Climb into our suits,
In our friendly old fire hall home.
A fireman's life is hard.
He plays inside the yard.
Waitin' for the fire bell to ring.
And when he hears that sound,
He races round and round,
And he goes and gets his hose and starts to sing.

Bring your hook and ladder friend,
And make the sirens wail.
Rev the engine up and let her run.
Ring your bell and doe-see-doe,
And dance until you drop, oh,
A fireman's job is never ever done.
Oh, a fireman's job is never ever done.

Oh, a fireman's job is never ever done.

3. The Fireman's Anthem [01:22]

Performed by: The Fraggle Rock Volunteer Fire Department

Notes: Reprise

So fetch him his clothes,
And hand him his hose,
And sing him that old melody (melody).

Bring your hook and ladder friend,
And make the sirens wail.
Rev the engine up and let her run, run, run, run.
Ring your bell and doe-see-doe,
And dance until you drop, oh,
A fireman's job is never ever done.

(repeat twice)
