Too much slack

(You’d better look out)

You’d better stand back

(Watch out for the fallout)

Takes up suddenly

(Like a real jerk)

End or the rope… utterly

(Ends men at work)

Squeak

(Eeeeeeeeeak)

Too much slack

(You’d better look out)

You’d better stand back

(Watch out for the fallout)

… too much slack

Leading to a shock load

(Gonna explode)

Shock loading failure

(Brings sudden tension)

And, did I mention…

(Not sure to endure)

Squeak

(Eeeeeeeeeak)

Too much slack

(You’d better look out)

You’d better stand back

(Watch out for the fallout)

… too much slack

Leading to a shock load

(Gonna explode)

Maybe better not

(Get pulled too taught)

Guess we’re gonna see

(Elasticity)

Will it set us free

(Permanently)

Squeak

(Eeeeeeeeeak)

Too much slack in a cable or rope can lead to a shock load when the slack is suddenly taken up, causing damage or failure like broken wires, crushing, and kinking. Other issues include reduced lifespan, corrosion, and failure to correctly identify the location of a break, especially in safety-critical applications like mining or subsea cable laying.
