A tune for my wife Julie who has unselfishly ensured that I am able to dedicate a portion of my time to my music. I wanted it to evoke all of her quirks and idiosyncrasies that I have come to love so dearly. And if was going to get away with writing a tune for the cat....

Verse 1

I'll act just like I'm your best friend,
So when I need you, you will bend.

I'm a mover.

I don't got time to sit and chat,
Just show me where the money's at.

I'm a shaker.

Pre-Chorus

Your time's not worth a dime to me, but that's okay.
I'll keep on asking for more from you anyway.

Verse 2

A guilty conscious: my best tool,
Especially when good morals rule.

I'm a breaker.

I'll take advantage of your time,
So I can spend mine with my wine.

I'm a whiner.

Pre-Chorus

Little favors shouldn't be to much to ask.
Especially when your compensation fills my flask.

Chorus

Can't you see I'm lame?
My life is one big game.
My friends just ain't what they used to be.
I hang around them 'til they can't help me.

Can't you see I'm lame?
It's always just the same.
I'll be around 'til I've used you dry.
Then it's off to find the next poor guy.

Verse 3

I've never had to learn no skills,
Just exploit yours; they'll pay my bills.

I'm a faker.

I've got friends from coast to coast,
I use the ones who have the most.

I'm a cruiser.

Pre-Chorus

I say I'll be there when you need a helping hand.
But when the time comes, I avoid it when I can.

Verse 4

If you fit into my plan,
I'll bet your money: you're my man!

I'm a schemer.

Opportunities are everywhere,
If you're the right one, I'll be there.

I'm a taker.

Pre-Chorus

Respect for others never seems to find much use.
When I deal with others; it's more like abuse.

Chorus

Can't you see I'm lame?
My life is one big game.
My friends just ain't what they used to be.
I hang around them 'til they can't help me.

Can't you see I'm lame?
It's always just the same.
I'll be around 'til I've used you dry.
Then it's off to find the next poor guy.

Refrain

I've been a big mooch
Since the day I was born
A freeloader's persona
Is what I've always worn

I'm not about to change
For anyone
Why should I now?
Because I'm having fun!

Chorus

Can't you see I'm lame?
My life is one big game.
My friends just ain't what they used to be.
I hang around them 'til they can't help me.

Can't you see I'm lame?
It's always just the same.
I'll be around 'til I've used you dry.
Then it's off to find the next poor guy.

Verse 1

Multi-tasking through the day
Gant charts made to show the way
Process flows and ROI's
Mitigate to synergize

Time to think outside the box
Metrics to report roadblocks
Value added quality
Actualize dynamically

Global scalability
Real potentiality
Solutions to disseminate
Deliverables to estimate

Action items and to-dos
Take-aways and job reviews
We will go the extra mile
Total quality with a smile

Pre-chorus

What does it all mean?
Where does it come from?
It doesn't make any sense
I can't understand it

It doesn't really matter cause it's

Chorus

Work talk
Break your jargon out, it's
Work talk
There is no room for doubt, it's
Work talk
Rhetoric abounds
Work talk
It always will astound
Work talk
Take plenty of notes because
It's like a foreign language
The speak of business street
Oh yeah, it's
Work talk

Refrain

What's the meaning of our lives?
The bottom line!
The bottom line!

What are we all fighting for?
The bottom line!
The bottom line!

What's the ultimate endgame?
The bottom line!
The bottom line!

How much lower can we go?
The bottom line!
The bottom line!

Verse 2

In the ballpark we will be
Happy with our synergy
Identify redundancies
Maximize efficiencies

List out our deliverables
Formulate our principles
Troubleshoot pro-actively
Integrate most seamlessly

Find the best strategic fit
Make sure that we revisit
Write up project documents
Email them as attachments

Read our gap analysis
Think about our core business
Remember to take that off line
Make our verticals align

Pre-chorus

What does it all mean?
Where does it come from?
It doesn't make any sense
I can't understand it

It doesn't really matter cause it's

Chorus

Work talk
Break your jargon out, it's
Work talk
There is no room for doubt, it's
Work talk
Rhetoric abounds
Work talk
It always will astound
Work talk
Take plenty of notes because
It's like a foreign language
The speak of business street
Oh yeah, it's
Work talk
