The Gaffer

Film crew in the Amazon
Film crew in the Philippines
Film crews in Laos and Thailand too
Film crews in the jungle
Every day and every night dude
Seems that's just what I do

I worked for Coppola and Herzog
Lucas and Spielberg
I shot the Deer Hunter and the Killing Fields
Year of Living Dangerously, First Blood, and Greystoke
Art films with little commercial appeal

The mad lad hatter
Like Dennis Hopper
In Monte Carlo
The gaffer's gaffer
I'm quite a talker
I make the juice flow

I make the juice flow

We do it all for you
Mr and Miss Theatergoer
I gotta tell you I've seen it all
From the other side of the cameras and the microphones
I am the gaffer
I'm the fourth wall

When the shooting's over and they call it a wrap
We wind down and try to get loose
You can come up to the party and ask any actor
They'll say he's the gaffer
He turns on the juice

I don't make a ton of money
But there's plenty of honey
And I've always been a king bee
I try to maintain perspective
Cos I ain't the director
But I got the electricity

I make the juice flow

When the credits roll, remember
I make the juice flow

From the Orinoco flow to the Gulf of Mexico
I make the juice flow

I make the juice flow
