Disclaimer: I don't know what the hell kinda song this is, but Kawaii wanted Darry, so she got Darry. I don't own the character, that's S.E Hinton. And I DEFINITELY don't own the song…Happy Worker. That's by Tori Amos. And no, half of these songs I've never even heard before.

Darry Curtis – Happy Worker

Darrel Curtis wiped sweat from his brow as he did another days work of roofing. Carrying two bundles at once up the ladder he nearly injured his back at least twice that day. Some guys that he worked with whistled as two fine looking ladies walked down the street walking their dogs.

Darry grinned, shaking his head. He enjoyed his job.

Coughing from the smoke of a black roof chimney
Marching to the beat of a hot roof o'er me
Hey, ho, here we go
We're off to work again
Bells are ringing
We are singing
Joyous in our industry

The tough greaser hammered the nails into the newly laid down shingle, all the while listening to the joyous whistles of his pals. Thoughts ran through his head as he looked at the dozen people laboring over hot roofs.

"Hey Ted!" he called out to a blonde haired man.

Ted looked up. "What?"

Darry thought a minute before shrugging. "Do you like your job? I mean, being out here all day, barely making enough money to get by, that sort of thing?"

The blonde seemed to think a moment before grinning. "Yeah, I do enjoy this job." Then he went back to work.

I love my job
He loves his job
Pull that lever
Start the engine
Pump the water, build the pressure
Push the piston, press the button
Pump the water, build the pressure
Push the piston, press the button
It's the perfect job

Every worker Darry questioned that day seemed to say the same thing. They loved their jobs. Darry smiled as he carried more roofing up the rickety ladder. They were one of the best companies in the state and the reason being was because they had a fine crew. Happy workers.

Happy workers

Happy workers

Darrel Curtis walked back down to ground level were he could eat his lunch with the rest of the guys. The second team went up and started on their shift.

"C'mon boys!" he heard his boss yell. "We need to hose down all this rubble before the family comes in on Monday! Let's speed it up!"

"John! Build up the pressure on the hose!" yelled Anthony, a red haired man with a reckless grin.

John, a stocky man nodded, twisting the nozzle on the hose and cranking the lever. "All set, Anthony!" he called.

I love my job
He loves his job
Pull that lever
Start the engine
Pump the water, build the pressure
Push the piston, press the button
Pump the water, build the pressure
Push the piston, press the button
Pump the water, build the pressure
Push the piston, press the button
It's the perfect job

As the dirt and rubble slid off the roof everyone cheered. Their job was done for the day. A feeling of accomplishment ran like a wave over both teams and Darry smiled.

Happy workers
Happy workers
Happy workers

As the crew packed up for the day Darry looked back with his chums by his side. The house stood in the setting sun reflecting the soft glow of orange light upon them and they grinned. They loved they're job.

I love my job
He loves his job
Pull that lever
Sister, start the engine
Pump the water, yeah
Honey, build the pressure
Pump the water, build the pressure
Push the piston, press the button
It's the perfect job

...It's the perfect job
