Sung to the tune of "The Farmer and the Cowman" (Oklahoma)
Oh the wood butchers and lampies should be friends
Oh the wood butcher and lampies should be friends
One man likes to saw some wood
The other’d burn it if he could
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends!
Butchers, joiners stick together, butchers joiners are a team
Lampies, techies get the fallback, stress levels rise and they all scream!!!
Oh the Noise boys and the lampies should be friends
Oh the noise boys and the lampies should be friends
One man likes to make some noise
The other prefers his bright new toys
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends!
Noise boys, ops boys stick together, noise boys, ops boys are a team
Lampies, techies hate the feedback, stress levels rise and they all scream!
Oh the vidiots and the lampies should be friends
Oh the vidiots and the lampies should be friends
One man likes to shoot a show, wants it brighter, no no no
The lampy and the viddy can’t be friends
Viddies, cam boys stick together, viddies, cam boys are a team
Lampies, techies want it darker, stresses rise and they all scream!!
Oh the stage crew and the lampies should be friends
Oh the stage crew and the lampies should be friends
One man likes to move the set, does it once and then forgets !!
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends!
Stage crew, managers stick together, stage crew boys get in the way
Lampies, techies get so stressful….just as well there’s lots of pay!!
