Do What You Love (The Bureaucrat Song)

[Hermes]
When I was four, 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 said, "this boy's born to be a bureaucrat."
Born to be all obsessive and snotty
I made my friends and relations file long applications
To get into my tenth birthday party

[LaBarbara]
But something changed when my man turned pro

[Hermes]
I was sortin' but I wasn't smilin'

[LaBarbara]
He forgot that it's not about badges and ranks

[Hermes]
It's supposed to be about the filin'! People!

We didn't choose to be bureaucrats
No, that's what almighty Jah 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 weird
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

[Dr. Farnsworth]
They poo-poo'd 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 bureaucrats - Jamaica!

[Bureaucrats]
Jamaica!

[Hermes]
Just the grade nineteens!

[Morgan Proctor, reluctantly]
...Jamaica

[Hermes]
Sing me home!

When push comes to shove, you gotta do what you love
Even if it's not a good idea!
