And it's time a few of them were recognized.

Driving home the nail

Working together like (7)____________ inside a wheel

Up and down the road
Or the one out in the warehouse,
Bringing in the load
Or the waitress, the mechanic,
The policeman on patrol
For everyone who works behind the scenes.

Hello America, let me thank you for your time...
