Roll Out Orange Barrels, highway construction, again
Roll Out Orange Barrels, slow traffic, one lane open
Worker apparels, matching with bright orange gear
Spring is when they roll the barrels,
And they'll stay all year

Not much leeway on the freeway
Big machines are on the ground there
Guys in helmets stand around there
No one working, can be found there

Signs of caution, yellow flashin'
Lazy lay back, that's the fashion
Until it's twelve, and lunch time,
Then, fast moves are the thing..

Hear no air hammers, no"Rat-tat-tat"
See no concrete break up where they're at
When some cute lady smiles their way
They all perk up and shout, "Hey, Hey"

If you hear some rumble on the road, the road
It's a truck, air braking with it's load
No heavy sledges, do they swing,
There's just a lot of mingling

Roll Out Orange Barrels, highway construction ahead
Roll Out Orange Barrels, slow traffic, one lane, sign said
Worker apparels, matching with bright orange gear
Springtime's when they roll the barrels,
And they'll stay all year
