[BUD, spoken]
Oh, me too, me too, Mister Twimble
I know exactly what you mean
From now on
[BUD]
I'll play it the company way
Wherever the company puts me, there I'll stay
[ENSEMBLE]
Whatever the company tells him, that he'll do
[BUD]
Whatever my uncle may think, I think so too
[ENSEMBLE]
Oh, he's beaming with company pride
[BUD]
I've conquered that over-ambitious rat inside
[TWIMBLE]
Old Bud is no longer the Frump he used to be
[BUD]
I've pledged to the company sweet conformity
[ENSEMBLE]
Hooray! Hooray!
[BUD]
I will some day earn my medal
Twenty-five year employee
I'll see to it that the medal
Is the only thing they'll ever pin on me
[ENSEMBLE]
The Frump way is the company way
Executive policy is by him okay
[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
[ENSEMBLE]
We know the company may like or lump any man
[BUD, spoken]
I'm so proud
[ENSEMBLE]
And if they choose to
The company may dump any man
[BUD, spoken]
And happy
[ENSEMBLE]
But they will never dump Frump, the company man
Frump will play it the company
Frump will play it the company
Frump will play it the company way
Frump!
