Lyrics

[BRATT, spoken] Well, Twimble, who's going to be the new head of the mailroom? [TWIMBLE, spoken] Well, Mr. Bratt, I've given it a good deal of thought, pro and con I think your man is young Finch [BRATT, spoken] Congratulations, Finch! [FINCH, spoken] Thanks, but I can't accept [BRATT, spoken] Are you turning this job down? [FINCH, spoken] That's right, Mr. Bratt I think there is a man here who is better qualified Gentlemen, I recommend Bud Frump [TWIMBLE & ENSEMBLE, spoken] Ugh [BUD, spoken] I know what you all must think of me But from now on [BUD] I'll play it the company way Wherever the company puts me, there I'll stay [ENSEMBLE] Whatever the company tells him, that he'll do [BUD] Whatever my uncle may think, I think so too [ENSEMBLE] Oh, hе's beaming with company pride [BUD] I've conquеred that over-ambitious rat inside [TWIMBLE] Old Bud is no longer the Frump he used to be [BUD] I've pledged to the company sweet conformity [ENSEMBLE] Hooray! Hooray! [BUD] I will some day earn my medal Twenty-five year employee I'll see to it that the medal Is the only thing they'll ever pin on me [ENSEMBLE] The Frump way is the company way Executive policy is by him okay [BUD] I'll never be president, but there's one thing clear As long as my uncle can stand me I will still be here [ENSEMBLE & BUD, spoken] We know the company may like or lump any man (I'm so proud) And if they choose to The company may dump any man (Look, I'm happy) [ENSEMBLE] But they will never dump Frump, the company man Frump will play it the company Frump will play it the company Frump will play it the company way Frump!
