I’ll sing you one, see.
Long live bureaucracy! And what would your one be?
One is the original, but you can keep a copy.
I’ll sing you two, see.
Long live bureaucracy! And what would your two be?
Two, two, the two-part form, on goldenrod and green, see.
One is the original, but you can keep a copy.
I’ll sing you three, see.
Long live bureaucracy! And what would your three be?
Three, made out in triplicate!
Two, two, the two-part form, on goldenrod and green, see.
One is the original, but you can keep a copy.
I’ll sing you four, see.
Long live bureaucracy! And what would your four be?
Four for the fiscal quarters.
Three, made out in triplicate!
Two, two, the two-part form, on goldenrod and green, see.
One is the original, but you can keep a copy.
...
[Later that same day...]
I’ll sing you twelve, see.
Long live bureaucracy! And what would your twelve be?
Twelve for the billing cycles.
One and one for the long-term gain.
Ten for the ten-day deadline.
Nine for the ID number.
Eight for the weekly timesheet.
Seven for the days in the calendar.
Six o’clock to six o’clock.
Five for the days of business.
Four for the fiscal quarters.
Three, made out in triplicate!
Two, two, the two-part form, on goldenrod and green, see.
One is the original, but you can keep a copy.
