Shake Hands with Danger

Narrator:
[opening Lyrics] Shake hands with danger/ Any guy oughta know/ I used to laugh at saftey/ But now they call me... Three Finger Joe

Boss:
[after getting the worker off the machinery with the engine running] What if he bumped the control by accident? You'd be mixed meat by now! What have I told ya? You DON'T work on machinery with the engine running!

Worker:
I told him not to touch anything... alright, I guess I wasn't thinking.

Boss:
You weren't thinking? You mean you'll work on engines and machinery and not think of your own personal safety? [Takes Worker's wrench] Here! [Gives it back] Shake hands with danger! [Theme song starts]

Narrator:
Shake hands with danger/ Take the chance that you won't fall/ You'll save yourself a minute/ But you may damn well lose it all!

Narrator:
Glenn knows the risk of striking hard against badly chipped metal, but he's wearing safety glasses and there's a macho thing involved here. Glenn doesn't want his friend to sneer at him for being overly cautious. So, Glenn shakes hands with danger. [Glenn hits the metal and gets wounded] Glenn's friend may have laughed at him for insisting on playing it safe, but he sure as hell ain't laughing now.
