Just to make an easier read Stan:
and for those who have never heard the "
General Song":
The Thoroughly Modern Bureaucrat [Apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan]
The General
I am the very model of a thoroughly modern bureaucrat;
I have all the information to see where you measure at,
I have the regulations to let me rule and regulate,
I am the very model of a thoroughly modern potentate.
From statutes to ordinances, in order quite methodical;
I weave my red tape, with a zeal quite mechanical;
I understand the policies, the ones quite ineffectual;
I’m a very modern bureaucrat, and I oversee you all.
All and in Unison:
He’s a very modern bureaucrat, and he oversees us all.
He’s a very modern bureaucrat, and he oversees us all.
He’s a very modern bureaucrat, and he oversees us all.
The General
I’m good at mission statements and strategic plans as well;
I know about operational plans and who not to tell;
In short, I’m good at keeping things just where they’re at;
I’m the very model of a thoroughly modern bureaucrat.
All and in General Unison:
In short, he’s good at keeping things just where they’re at;
He is the very model of a thoroughly modern bureaucrat.
The General:
I like the RDOs, the pension benefits and all the other perks;
I like the opportunity I have to drive you all berserk;
And I like the feeling of knowing just where you’re at;
I’m the very modern pirate;
The one called "The Bureaucrat."
All and in General Unison [one last time]:
And he likes the feeling of knowing just where you’re at;
He’s the very modern pirate;
The one called "The Bureaucrat".
With apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan and Stan!!
