シャツ縫うミシン轟けば 月夜に地鳴りの夜なべ歌 拒めど 着さす 着さす と縫う 拒めど 着さす と縫う

仕事場はタブー　ダッダッ 仕事場はタブー　ダッダッ 仕事場はタブー　ダッダッ タブー　ダッダッ　タブー　ダッダッ

夜空は曇天 シチューの泡 雲のみごろが.........

グラビアの姫人質に 吐息でかまどに火を点ける 逃げども 着さす　着さす　と縫う 逃げども　着さす　と縫う

仕事場はタブー　ダッダッ 仕事場はタブー　ダッダッ 仕事場はタブー　ダッダッ タブー　ダッダッ　タブー　ダッダッ

窓辺の影は 戦車か入道 月のボタンが　あー

子たちに似合うよなグレイトなシャツ縫う レイヨロ　レイヨロ　レイ　イエー 見た子じゃ逃げても糸で絡めとる レイヨロ　レイヨロ　レイ　イエー 言い伝えの針進めて戻して レイヨロ　レイヨロ

決起の騎士に見立てて 勇んだ夜道は無駄な逃亡 行けども　着さす　着さす　と縫う 行けども　着さす　と縫う

仕事場はタブー　ダッダッ 仕事場はタブー　ダッダッ 仕事場はタブー　ダッダッ タブー　ダッダッ　タブー　ダッダッ

夜空は曇天 シチューの泡 雲のみごろが　あー

子たちに似合うよなグレイトなシャツ縫う レイヨロ　レイヨロ　レイ　イエー 見た子じゃ逃げても糸で絡めとる レイヨロ　レイヨロ　レイ　イエー 言い伝えの針進めて戻して レイヨロ　レイヨロ

子たちに似合うよなグレイトなシャツ縫う レイヨロ　レイヨロ　レイ　イエー 見た子じゃ逃げても糸で絡めとる レイヨロ　レイヨロ　レイ　イエー 言い伝えの針進めて戻して レイヨロ　レイヨロ

子たちに似合うよなグレイトなシャツ縫う レイヨロ　レイヨロ　レイ　イエー

=Versions= Hirasawa had intended for Jun Togawa to sing the backing vocals in the chorus for the planned Monster recording, using a "Mountain Hag" style performance; live, they were done by Teruo Nakano. The live arrangement wasn't as layered as the one on Water in Time and Space: The intro only has one drum machine pattern and is longer; the verse melodies are completely different, shorter than those of the solo arrangement, structured differently and having different lyrics; Hirasawa's vocals on the transition to the pre-chorus and the end of the chorus were crescendoing chants. No recordings of P-Model performing the songs have been officially released, although audience recordings exist. The song's arrangement incorporates percussive elements used by Hirasawa on Shun・4. The chorus vocals are yodeled; this was Hirasawa's second yodeling song (the first being "anothersmell"). As a joke, Hirasawa incorporated elements of Nat King Cole's version of "Quizás, Quizás, Quizás" in "No Workshop": The string parts of both songs share similarities; and ki sasu (着さす), pronounced the same as "quizás" (キサス), is repeated multiple times on the verses. Togawa's vocals from the Water in Time and Space version are sampled for this one, activated by a MIDI-triggering laser harp. Features a new intro and guitar backing by PEVO 1go (using a modded "Alumini Clear" Talbo, while Hirasawa uses Ice-9).
