Take a letter. To a Mr. John Hudson, Hudson's Floor Wax. You will find an invoice in the file for the address. "Dear Mr. Hudson," colon:

(sung)
My eyes are fully open to my awful situation
So I'm writing you a letter to demand an explanation

When the floor wax that we bought from you arrived here Monday morning
We discovered upon usage that the fumes should have a warning

Since the only possibility is that your wax is rancid
I request a full refund of all the money we advanced

And unless you can convince me you've improved the floor wax batter
We will take our business elsewhere, so, I hope you solve this matter

(spoken)
How's my speed, Miss Dillmount?

[MILLIE, spoken]
A little slow, perhaps

[MR. GRAYDON, sung (faster)]
Ah!
Enclosed you'll find a small container of the stuff I talk about
Just carefully remove the lid and take a whiff if you've a doubt
I'm sure you wouldn't want me to alert the daily papers
With the news of how our office was affected by your vapours
Which is why I choose to write to you a confidential letter
Full of strong recommendation that you make your floor wax better
I just hope it won't require us to have our floor relaid and
If it does you may expect a bill
Sincerely, Trevor Graydon

(spoken)
Now, read that back to me please

[MILLIE, spoken]
Certainly. "Dear Mr. Hudson," colon:

Nice!

[MR. GRAYDON, spoken]
Not half bad. Continue please

[MR. GRAYDON, spoken]
Miss Dillmount, may I speak frankly?

[MILLIE, spoken]
Yes?

[MR. GRAYDON, sung]
If I could be so lucky as to have a good stenographer
To keep this place as up-to-date as her short skirt and bobbed coiffure

I wouldn't have to worry 'bout our soured office planking
And could concentrate on generating profits ripe for banking
That is why I'm testing you with this outrageous correspondence
Which I don't intend to actually mail to the respondents

So if you can make sense of my unintelligible patter
Then the job is yours and Hudson's Floor Wax really doesn't matter!

[MILLIE]
Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter?
Matter, matter, matter, matter
Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter?
Matter, matter, matter, matter

[MR. GRAYDON (simultaneously)]
Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter!
Matter, matter, matter, matter
Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter!

[OFFICE WOMEN (simultaneously)]
Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter!
Matter, matter, matter, matter

[MR. GRAYDON, spoken]
Now, I want that letter on my desk in two minutes flat. Man your machine! Go!

[tap dance break]

Time! "Dear Mr. Hudson,"

Tell me where my desk is
When we eat lunch
How much I'll be paid, and
Nice to meet you, I know we'll be friends
Just call me Millie Graydon

[MR. GRAYDON and OFFICE WORKERS]
Millie Graydon?

[MILLIE]
