Getting it Done

They say many hands make light work.
So I resurrect my cowboy outfit from 1997
Equipped with a hat, revolver, and lasso,
And I set out in search of a work force.
It's sometimes easier to hogtie people.

And when the rope ran out, I used a shepherd's hook,
And when the hook broke, I cast out a giant net,
And when the net tore, I dug a tiger pit.
And when the pit was revealed, I baked cookies.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

My group now, of the most tenacious men,
Of the most gargantuan, stalwart guys on Earth.
They're like two-eyed cyclops, towering tremendously
Over elephants and whales, who tremble.
And I their leader, the most magnificent of all.

And so when you need a job done,
You have to get the right people,
And to get the right people
You have to use the right force.
For the right force, try cookies.
