The Company Way (Reprise) Lyrics
FRUMP:
Oh, me too Mr. Twimble, I know exactly what you mean! From now on:
I'll play it the company way
Wherever the company puts me
There I'll stay.
COMPANY:
Whatever the company tells, that he'll do.
FRUMP:
Whatever my uncle may think,
I think so too.
COMPANY:
Oh, oh, oh, He's meeting the company pride
FRUMP:
I've conquered that over ambitious
Rat inside.
MR. TWIMBLE:
Old buddy's no longer the Frump you use to be.
FRUMP:
I'd pledged to the company sweet conformity.
COMPANY:
Hooray! Hooray!
FRUMP:
I will some day earn my medal,
25 year employee.
I'll see to it,
That the medal,
Is the only thing they'll ever be on me.
COMPANY:
Oh, Frump plays the company way,
Executive policy is by me OK.
FRUMP:
I'll never be President
But that's one thing clear,
As long as my uncle can stand me,
I will still be here.
COMPANY:
We know the company may like.
Or lump any man
And then they'll choose you the Company-Made-Company-Man.
FRUMP:
and happy
COMPANY:
But they will never jump
Frump the company man
Frump will play the company
Frump will play the company
Frump will play the company way.
Yeah!
