It seems like only yesterday |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
That I was in my prime |
[Beefy] |
|
But blink - a decade's slipped away! |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
And still I'm doing time |
[Karin] |
|
But really, guys, I love it here! |
[Francine] |
|
As months go wheeling by |
[Beefy] |
|
If I were e'er to quit this sphere |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
I'd ever wonder why
|
[Kansas Sam]
|
|
It couldn't be for fear of RIF |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
I've sailed through quite a few |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
So what could make me jump this skiff? - |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
The pay that I accrue? |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
No, it couldn't be the pay |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
Who needs a penny more? |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
In fact, the years of raise delay |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
Have helped my stock to soar!
|
[Kansas Sam]
|
|
And never could it be the staff |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
They're never less than pros |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
I love the way they make me laugh |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
Before we come to blows |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
As well, the folks who steer this ship |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
For Wall Street's brief applause |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
Are oh-so-gentle with the whip |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
So what could be the cause?
|
[Kansas Sam]
|
|
None, of course - which well explains |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
My carcass on this spot |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
It isn't lack of talent, brains, |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
Or options - no it's not |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
It isn't from inertia - no |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
I often leave my seat |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
It isn't that I cannot go |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
To firms just down the street
|
[Kansas Sam]
|
|
It isn't that they think me old |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
And settled in my ways |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
No, that's not why I'm not paroled |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
Why here I spend my days
|
[Kansas Sam]
|
|
It must, of course, be due to my |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
Contentment - can't you see? |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
So if you hear complaint or sigh |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
It surely wasn't me
|
[Kansas Sam]
|
|
In fact, I'd say these ten of years |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
That flew since I was prime |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
Were years well spent, it now appears |
[Kansas Sam] |
|
That's why I'm doing time |
[Kansas Sam] |
