Mr. Twimble
You've been in this company a long time, haven't you?
Long, long time
Just last month I became a quarter of a century now
That's beautiful
The, a quarter of a century
And how long you've been in the mailroom?
25 years, yep, it takes accommodation of skill
Diplomacy and bold caution
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
And haven't had one in years
You play it safe
I play it the company way
Wherever the company puts me, there I'll stay
But what's your point of view?
I have no point of view
Supposing the company thinks
I think so too
Ah, 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 is
A valentine
Is there anything you're against?
Unemployment
When they want brilliant thinking from employees
That is no concern of mine
Suppose a man of genius make suggestions
Watch that genius get suggested to resign
So you play it the company way
Oh, company policy is by me okay
You'll never rise up to the top
But there's one thing clear
Whoever the company fires
I will still be here
You've certainly found a home
It's cozy
Your brain is a company brain
The company washed it and now I can't complain
The company magazine
Boy, 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
And do you play it nicely?
Play it nicely
Still he blitzes me on every game like that
'Cause I play it the company way
Executive policy is by me okay
Oh, 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-o, year
