[Verse 1]
Crew chief in the pit,
grease on his hands
He saw that last hotdog
and made his stand
Wrapped in foil gold,
snatched from the tray
He bit that dog clean,
then roared, "Get away!"
[Verse 2]
He stomped past the racks,
boots on the deck
Stage hands froze up,
he was a wreck
No coffee in him,
veins all wire
He barked at the crew,
spitting sparks and fire
[Pre-Chorus]
"Where's my cup?
Where's my black?"
He shook the room
like a chain-gang attack
One more word
and the floor might split
He wants that brew,
he wants it quick
[Chorus]
No coffee, no peace
Get out of my face (hey!)
Last hotdog gone
Now the whole place shakes
No coffee, no peace
Don't test that grin (no!)
Crew chief's hungry
And he's yelling again
[Verse 3]
Stage hands ducked low
by the rolling cases
He hissed through his teeth
with a thousand faces
"Move that box!
Raise that rig!"
He ate the last dog
like a savage king
[Pre-Chorus]
"Where's my cup?
Where's my black?"
He shook the room
like a chain-gang attack
One more word
and the floor might split
He wants that brew,
he wants it quick
[Chorus]
No coffee, no peace
Get out of my face (hey!)
Last hotdog gone
Now the whole place shakes
No coffee, no peace
Don't test that grin (no!)
Crew chief's hungry
And he's yelling again
[Bridge]
Pour it black
Pour it mean
Bring that mug
Through the steam
One sip down,
then he'll cool
Till the next hotdog
breaks the rule
[Final Chorus]
No coffee, no peace
Get out of my face (hey!)
Last hotdog gone
Now the whole place shakes
No coffee, no peace
Don't test that grin (no!)
Crew chief's hungry
And he's yelling again
No coffee, no peace
We all know the score
Give him that cup
Or he'll want one more
