The Company Way (Reprise)
[MR. TWIMBLE, spoken]
What a minute, wait a minute, Bud! I've been here a long time, a quarter of a century. I just wanna make sure things are done the right way.
[BUD, spoken]
I know what you mean, Twimble! From now on:
(sung)
I'll play it the company way
Wherever the company puts me
There I'll stay
[COMPANY]
Whatever the company tells him, that he'll do
[BUD]
Whatever my uncle may think
I think so, too
[COMPANY]
Oh, oh, oh, he's beaming with company pride
[BUD]
I've conquered that over-ambitious rat inside
[MR. TWIMBLE]
Old Bud's no longer the Frump he used to be
[BUD]
I've pledged to the company sweet conformity
[COMPANY]
Hooray! Hooray!
[BUD]
I will some day earn my medal
25 year employee
I'll see to it
That the medal
Is the only thing they'll ever pin on me
[COMPANY]
The Frump way is the company way
Executive policy is by him OK
[BUD]
I'll never be President
But there's one thing clear
As long as my uncle can stand me
I will still be here
[COMPANY]
We know the company may like
Or lump any man
[BUD, spoken]
I'm so proud!
[COMPANY]
And if they choose to
The company may dump any man
[BUD, spoken]
And happy!
[COMPANY]
But they will never dump
Frump, the company man
Frump will play the company
Frump will play the company
Frump will play the company way
Frump!
