Lyrics
Wok is cooling down Grill is scrubbed clean Long day done Hands that never rest Stack the stools, stack the stools Hearts keep warm Stack the stools, stack the stools Through the night and storm Neighbours share a bowl Cook counts the coins Nobody goes hungry When the family joins Stack the stools, stack the stools Hearts keep warm Stack the stools, stack the stools Through the night and storm Honest work, honest bread Lights go out Tomorrow we rise again Stack the stools, stack the stools Hearts keep warm Stack the stools, stack the stools Through the night and storm
