lyrics

(Scene 1. Security officer enters.)
SECURITY OFFICER: (On the X-Ray Machine.) I do four twelve-hour shifts, four on and four off,
on one shift you get two breaks.
The airport security have a staff room,
but I generally eat in the restaurant.
We can look at the contents of bags on the x-ray machine.
Every twelve months we do refresher exams,
on what we do and what we’re looking for.
We can look at the contents of bags on the x-ray machine.
TONY HAWES: (The following is spoken.) Six-piece coffee set, four storage jars.
SECURITY OFFICER: (Sung.) We can look at the contents of bags on the x-ray machine.
(The following is spoken.) Obviously, you do get to see the contents of a person’s bag, but for obvious reasons I’m not going to go into the details. Whether it’s a set of skis, a kayak, it’s all screened. If we weren’t happy with something that was in a case then the passenger would be called, and we’d ask for the bag to be opened and the contents examined.
(Sung.) We can look at the contents of bags on the x-ray machine.
All the pictures that we look at are enhanced,
we can only watch for short periods.
We can look at the contents of bags on the x-ray machine.
We can look at the contents of bags, it all shows on the screen.
