The Company Way (Reprise)

[BRATT, spoken]
Well, Twimble, who's going to be the new head of the mailroom?

[TWIMBLE, spoken]
Well, Mr. Bratt, I've given it a good deal of thought, pro and con
I think your man is young Finch

[BRATT, spoken]
Congratulations, Finch!

[FINCH, spoken]
Thanks, but I can't accept

[BRATT, spoken]
Are you turning this job down?

[FINCH, spoken]
That's right, Mr. Bratt
I think there is a man here who is better qualified
Gentlemen, I recommend Bud Frump

[TWIMBLE & ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Ugh

[BUD, spoken]
I know what you all must think of me
But 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 & BUD, spoken]
We know the company may like or lump any man (I'm so proud)
And if they choose to
The company may dump any man (Look, I'm 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!
