Company Way lyrics

[Finch]
Mr. twimble.

[Mr. twimble]
Yes?

[Finch]
You've been with this company a long time, haven't you?

[Mr. twimble]
A long, long time. just last month I became a quarter of a century man.

[Finch]
Aww, that's beautiful! gee, a quarter of a century!

[Mr. twimble]
A quarter of a century!

[Finch]
And how long have you been in the mailroom?

[Mr. twimble]
25 years. yep! it takes a combination 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.

[Finch]
Ah, you play it safe.

[Mr. twimble]
I play it the company way.
Wherever the company puts me
There I'll stay.

[Finch]
But what's your point of view?

[Mr. twimble]
I have no point of view!

[Finch]
Supposing the company thinks.

[Mr. twimble]
I think so too!

[Finch]
Now, what would you say if they put you.

[Mr. twimble]
I wouldn't say!

[Finch]
You're facing the company face.

[Mr. twimble]
It smiles at executives
Then goes back in place!

[Finch]
The company furniture...

[Mr. twimble]
Oh, it suits me fine!

[Finch]
The company letterhead...

[Mr. twimble]
A valentine!

[Finch]
Is there anything you're against?

[Mr. twimble]
Unemployment!

[Finch]
When they want brilliant thinking from employees.

[Mr. twimble]
That is no concern of mine.

[Finch]
Suppose a man of genius make suggestions.

[Mr. twimble]
What's that genius get suggested to resign?

[Finch]
So, you play it the company way?

[Mr. twimble]
Oh, company policy is by me ok.

[Finch]
You'll never rise up to the top.

[Mr. twimble]
But there's one thing clear
Whoever the company fires
I will still be here!

[Finch]
Oh, you certainly found a home.

[Mr. twimble]
It's cozy.

[Finch]
Your brain is a company brain.

[Mr. twimble]
The company washed it,
Now I can't complain.

[Finch]
The company magazine...

[Mr. twimble]
Know what style, what punch.

[Finch]
The company restaurant.

[Mr. twimble]
Every day same lunch.
Their hattock sandwich, it's delicious.

[Finch]
I must try it!

[Mr. twimble]
Early in the week.

[Finch]
Do you have any hobbies?

[Mr. twimble]
I've a hobby, I play gin with mr. bratt.

[Finch]
And do you play it nicely?

[Mr. twimble]
Play it nicely, still he blitzes me on every game like that!

[Finch]
Why?

[Mr. twimble]
'cause I play it the company way.
Executive policy is by me ok.

[Finch]
How can you get anywhere?

[Mr. twimble]
Junior have no fear.
Whoever the company fires
I will still be here.

[Finch]
You will still be here.

[Mr. twimble]
Year, after year, after fiscal.

[Both]
Never take a risko year!
