The Company Way

Lyrics

When I joined this firm
 As a brash young man
 Well, I said to myself
 "Now, brash young man
 Don't get any ideas"
 Well, I stuck to that
 Haven't had one in years!
 (You play it safe?)
 I play it the company way
 Wherever the company puts me
 There I stay
 (But what is your point of view?)
 I have no point of view
 (Supposing the company thinks that-)
 I think so too
 (Now, what would you say-)
 I wouldn't say!
 (Your face is a company face)
 It smiles at executives
 Then goes back in place
 (The company furniture)
 Oh, it suits me fine
 (The company letterhead)
 A valentine!
 (Anything you're against?)
 Unemployment
 (When they want brilliant thinking
 From employees)
 That is no concern of mine
 (Suppose a man of genius
 Makes suggestions)
 Watch that genius get suggested to resign!
 (So, you play it the company way)
 Oh, company policy is by me O.K
 (You'll never rise up to the top)
 There's one thing clear
 Whoever the company fires
 I will still be here!
 (Ah, you certainly found a home)
 It's cozy
 (Your brain is a company brain)
 The company washed it
 And now I can't complain
 )Hey, the company magazine)
 Oh what style, what punch
 (The company restaurant)
 Every day, same lunch
 Their haddock sandwich
 It's delicious
 (I must try it)
 Early in the week
 (Do you have any hobbies?)
 I've a hobby
 I play gin with Mr. Bratt
 (Mr. Bratt! And do you play it nicely?)
 Play it nicely
 Still, he blitzes me
 In every game like that!
 (Why?)
 'Cause I play it the company way
 Executive policy is by me O.K
 (How can you get anywhere?)
 Junior, have no fear
 Whoever the company fires
 I will still be here (You will still be here)
 Year after year after fiscal
 Never-take-a-risk-ll year!
