The Typist, the Para, the Sec'y, the Clerk

Tune: Irving Berlin's "There's No Business Like Show Business"

The typist, the para, the sec'y, the clerk
Habitually play a nasty trick:
The typist, the para, the sec'y, the clerk
Are likelier than not to call in sick.
So who is left to carry out the task?
Come on, now—do you really have to ask?

When co-workers
Are slow workers,
Or co-workers
Don't show,
Overtime is what you're gonna rack up!
You'll be pullin' 18-hour days!
Other people look on you as back-up
To take the slack up,
So they can laze!

You're so active,
You're proactive!
You're all day on the go!
So extremely busy, that you skip your meals:
You push the paper; you do the deals.
Mister, would you care to tell me how it feels
To know
You are a shmo?!
