The Ballad of Hernan and Billy Mack

[Intro] [Verse 1] Down at OCI Beaumont, the torches still blaze, Hernan left a weld for the night shift to graze. Two long shifts they struggled, but progress stayed thin, Till Hernan returned—said, “Let me begin!” [Chorus] Oh Hernan, Hernan, with Billy Mack in tow, They’re salvaging what the night crew let go. Three shims on 81, quick as a slap, While sparks flew like fire from that cold-galvinized cap! [Verse 2] The night crew complained, “This steel’s a disgrace!” Hernan just chuckled, “Y’all had your space. Instead of fixin’, you danced in the dark— Now step aside while we reignite the spark!” [Chorus] Oh Hernan, Hernan, with Billy Mack in stride, They’re weld-in’ up gaps with Beaumont pride. Grind it, bind it, make the seams tight, Night crew’s excuses won’t dim their light. [Bridge] Mike Done-away’s back’s ’bout to snap, Haulin’ day shift’s weight—no time for a nap. Bud’s in QC, mutterin’ low, “Gilbert’s slack’s got me sayin’, *No mo’!*” [Final Chorus] So here’s to Hernan and his partner Mack, Piecin’ up the plant, coverin’ what they lack. At OCI Beaumont, the truth’s been shown— Day shift’s the backbone; night shift just groans! [Outro]
