Gaffer's Days of Christmas
(Verse 1) On the first day of shooting, my gaffer gave to me, A roll of trusty camera tape for all to see.
(Chorus) Twelve rolls of duct tape, eleven rolls of spike, Ten rolls of paper tape, making everything right. Nine rolls of cloth tape, eight rolls of glow, Seven rolls of masking, keeping the set in the flow.
(Verse 2) Six rolls of console, five rolls of foil, Four rolls of board tape, don't let it spoil. Three rolls of board tape, two rolls of grip, And a roll of camera tape, keeping everything in ship.
(Chorus) Twelve rolls of duct tape, eleven rolls of spike, Ten rolls of paper tape, making everything right. Nine rolls of cloth tape, eight rolls of glow, Seven rolls of masking, keeping the set in the flow.
(Bridge) Gaff tape, oh gaff tape, the set's best friend, Sticking things together from start to end. Whether it's lighting or rigging in place, Gaff tape is the hero in the film crew's space.
(Verse 3) On the twelfth day of filming, my gaffer gave to me, Twelve rolls of gaff tape, the crew's unity.
(Chorus) Twelve rolls of duct tape, eleven rolls of spike, Ten rolls of paper tape, making everything right. Nine rolls of cloth tape, eight rolls of glow, Seven rolls of masking, keeping the set in the flow.
(Outro) Gaff tape, gaff tape, the filmmaker's delight, Holding dreams together, day and night. So here's to the tape that keeps us strong, In the world of filmmaking, where we all belong!
