Mari La Safety (v2)

[Intro]

Hey, listen up, crew!

Mari La Safety is on patrol!

[Verse 1]

Morning boots by the pickup truck,

Coffee in a paper cup,

Plans in hand and hearts held high,

We dig the trenches beneath the sky.

Mari walks in with her serious face,

Checking every corner, every place.

She loves us all, that much is true,

But if you skip your gear, she’ll come for you!

[Pre-Chorus]

She says, “My family, hear me clear,

Your best tool is making it home safe here.”

Dios Primero, then we start,

Safety comes from a caring heart.

[Chorus]

Cabrones, put your gloves on!

Don’t make Mari sing this song all day long!

Hard hats tight and boots tied right,

We do the job and we do it right.

With faith and a helmet, we’ll head back home,

Nobody digs alone, nobody roams.

Mari La Safety, loving but tough,

She fusses for our good because she cares enough!

[Verse 2]

One guy said, “I’m too strong for a vest,”

Mari said, “Buddy, that’s not your best.”

Another said, “The trench looks fine,”

She checked the slope and drew the line.

“Barricade here, watch your step,

No shortcuts on this worksite yet.”

She hands out gloves like birthday cake,

Then counts the crew for everybody’s sake.

[Pre-Chorus]

She says, “Mi gente, don’t be proud,

Smart workers stand out in the crowd.”

Dios Primero, eyes ahead,

Respect the ground beneath your tread.

[Chorus]

Cabrones, put your gloves on!

Don’t make Mari sing this song all day long!

Hard hats tight and boots tied right,

We do the job and we do it right.

With faith and a helmet, we’ll head back home,

Nobody digs alone, nobody roams.

Mari La Safety, loving but tough,

She fusses for our good because she cares enough!

[Bridge]

If the dust gets thick, we slow it down,

If a warning comes, we pass it around.

No joke is worth a broken bone,

Our families need us coming home.

So laugh, compañeros, then check your line,

Safety first and we’ll all be fine!

[Final Chorus]

Cabrones, put your gloves on!

Mari’s got the whistle and the whole crew’s on!

Hard hats tight and boots tied right,

Faith in our hearts and the future bright.

With faith and a helmet, we’ll head back home,

Safe together, never alone.

Mari La Safety, queen of the site,

She keeps her family safe day and night!

[Outro]

Dios Primero!

Safety siempre!

Gloves on, helmets on—let’s go home together!
