[finch, spoken]
mr. twimble, you’ve been with this company a long time, haven’t you?

[twimble, spoken]
long, long time. just last month, i became a quarter of a century man

[finch, spoken]
that’s beautiful. gee, a quarter of a century. and how long have you been in the mail room?

[twimble, spoken]
25 years. yep, it takes a combination of sk!ll, diplomacy and bold caution

(sung)
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 i haven’t had one in years

[finch, spoken]
you play it safe

[twimble]
i play it the company way;
wherever the company puts me
there i stay

[finch]
but what is your point of view?

[twimble]
i have no point of view

[finch]
supposing the company thinks .

[twimble]
i think so too

[finch, spoken]
now, what would you say…?

[twimble, spoken]
i wouldn’t say

[finch]
your face is a company face

[twimble]
it smiles at executives
then goes back in place

[finch]
the company furniture?

[twimble]
oh, it suits me fine

[finch]
the company letterhead is…?

[twimble]
a valentine

[finch, spoken]
is there anything you’re against?

[twimble, spoken]
unemployment

[finch]
when they want brilliant thinking
from employees

[twimble]
that is no concern of mine

[finch]
suppose a man of g*nius
makes suggestions?

[twimble]
watch that g*nius get suggested to resign

[finch]
so you play it the company way?

[twimble]
all company policy is by me ok

[finch]
you’ll never rise up to the top

[twimble]
but there’s one thing clear:
whoever the company fires
i will still be here

[finch, spoken]
oh, you certainly found a home!

[twimble, spoken]
it’s cozy

[finch]
your brain is a company brain

[twimble]
the company washed it
now i can’t complain

[finch]
the company magazine!

[twimble]
boy, what style, what punch!

[finch]
the company restaurant!

[twimble]
ev’ry day same lunch

(spoken)
their haddock sandwich, it’s delicious!

[finch, spoken]
i must try it

[twimble, spoken]
early in the week

[finch]
do you have any hobbies?

[twimble]
i’ve a hobby;
i play gin with mr. bratt

[finch]
and do you play it nicely?

[twimble]
play it nicely…
still, he blitzes me in every game, like that!

[finch, spoken]
why?

[twimble]
’cause i play it the company way
executive policy is by me ok

[finch]
how can you get anywhere?

[twimble]
junior, have no fear;
whoever the company fires
i will still be here

[finch]
you will still be here

[twimble]
year after year after fiscal

[both]
never take a risk-al year!
