about

This song was inspired by the yell that my union steward would make for my lazy co-"worker". The rest of the crew would join in spontaneously, as it became such a familiar refrain.

lyrics

WELLS!
Wells! Won’t you put your ass to work one day?
You’re a sittin down lazy mother WELLS!…….. WELLS!

Workin in Fresno with The Local 158
There’s the one guy everybody loves to hate
He’s a sittin down lazyass never-do-nothin kinda slug
Might sneak away take a nap when you’re not looking

WELLS! Won’t you put your ass to work one day?
You’re a sittin down lazy mother WELLS!…….. WELLS!

He spends so much energy to avoid spending energy, you really gotta wonder what the guy could do
If he used his evil for good insteada laziness-used his stupor for clarity insteada haziness
Where’d he go?
WELLS!……….

I think he’s actually proud of himself
The way he truly has no shame
And to his credit he brings us all together against him
And we’ve always got someone to blame
He makes a perfect example of exactly what not to do
A model of failure and frustration
And of not thinking anything through
He’s disappeared again- WELLS!………….WELLS!

He once told me: “You guys need me to set the mark of ineptitude and plumb the depths of bad”
Which is actually me paraphrasing- he would never say that, as he as a vocabulary of about 500 words. He actually said :
“If I was’nt fuckin off makin you guys look good
you have to admit in a way that you’d really all be sad.”
Which is also not true as it turns out.

Cause he’s babbling about something while he’s smokin a cigarette
Be the first one to the donuts to grab all he can get
Drinking coffee and talking to you while you’re toiling away
He’s dangerous to work with, he’s only in the way
He’s disappeared again- WELLS!

Get your ass back over here
Quit slackin off by the pin-rail
Never mind the Pepsi
Take a break once with everybody else
Won’t you show some self respect and pull your own weight on the crew
I’d rather work without you- slowin up the progress
Disregarding everything anyone’s ever said- never use your head
No one would be sad if you woke up dead

Such a sin a waste of perfectly good skin
And not to mention all that food for a big bad dude with a big bad attitude
He’s disappeared again- WELLS!

( Traveling Head of Carpentry assembles crew of 4 locals to wrangle big heavy dangerous box that killed a man in Philadelphia –Build to fit.)

I think he’s actually proud of himself
The way he truly has no shame
And to his credit he brings us all together against him
And we’ve always got someone to blame
He makes a perfect example of exactly what not to do
A model of failure and frustration
And of not thinking anything through

He’s disappeared again- WELLS!
Won’t you put your ass to work one day?
You’re a sittin down lazy mother WELLS!…….. WELLS!

Brian Kenney Fresno Fresno, California

My name is Brian Kenney Fresno, and I have this super fun solo ROCK show
where I sing modern TALES of urban legends and epics of the absurd- in a
sing along format, mostly about Fresno Ca, my home town, and everytime I say
"Fresno", everybody eats the raisins and says "WHOOO!" in a group
experience.
It's really fun!
Everybody laughs a lot! ... more
