Bureaucrat Song

From How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back



Hermes:

When i was two there was a hurricane in Kingston Town

with a foot and a half of water

Everyone was alright, but I cried all night

It blew my alphabet blocks out of order



And they say

this boys born to be a bureaucrat

born to be all obsessive and snotty

I made my friends and relations fill long applications

to get into my tenth birthday party



Labarbara:

But something changed when my man turned pro



Hermes:

I was sorting but I wasn't smiling



Labarbara:

He forget that it's not about badges and ranks



Hermes:

It's supposed to be about the filing!



People,

We didn't choose to be bureaucrats

No that's what our mighty Ja made us

We treat people like swine and make them stand in line

Even if nobody paid us



They say the world looks down on the bureaucrats

They say we're anal, compulsive and wierd

But when push comes to shove you gotta do what you love

Even if it's not a good idea

Zoidberg!



Zoidberg:

They said i probably shouldn't be a surgeon



Farnsworth:

They poopooed my electric frankfurter



Leela:

They said I probably shouldn't fly with just one eye



Bender:

I am Bender please insert girder



Hermes:

Everybody sing Jamaica!



All:

Jamaica!



Hermes:

Just the bearuacrats - Jamaica!



Bureaucrats:

Jamaica!



Hermes:

Just the grade nineteens!



Morgan Proctor:

Jamaica.



Hermes:

Sing me home,

When push comes to shove you gotta do what you love

Even if it's not a good idea!
