Action Jackson's Clipboard Therapy

Action Jackson has a clipboard,
and he's gotta get things done.
He doesn't need much help,
because it would take away the fun.
But, he's got a job to do
and guarantees to do it, well...
..pick up the pace,
let the pecking order go to hell.

Jackson's got things covered,
an independent soul, is he
he pays attention to the game plan,
and the shift goes, trouble-free,
he takes his job quite serious,
as serious as I can tell...
..pick up the pace,
let the pecking order go to hell.

He gets everyone to understand,
unlike anyone else around,
but, don't try and front off Jackson,
because you really will get clowned,
he will make you look so foolish
that you'd need a padded cell...
..pick up the pace,
let the pecking order go to hell.

But, there's a bottom-line, my friend
and a clipboard plays a part,
if Jackson swings it hard enough,
he'll give you a new part,
you may end up, REALLY dizzy,
or your head feeling REALLY swell...
..pick up the pace,
let the pecking order go to hell.
