Story Behind The Song

A go getter comes unstuck

Lyrics

Corporate Dance


I'm driving on that ramp to success.
I'm feeling very good about myself.
I'm in turbo thrust to some better days.
And I just can't wait to make it all pay.

I'm making my mark guns a-blazing.
My promotional skills are a-mazing.
My co-workers should give up trying
I'm a confident man, there's no denying.

Chorus

I'll take every measure to get on the top.
A true force of nature I cannot be stopped.
I'm bold and I'm reaching for the highest of highs.
That executive washroom lies in my sights.

Verse

Yes it's wonderful to have so much talent.
Lesser men would become quite unbalanced.
My skill set at present still knows no bounds.
I'm so glad that God didn't spread them around.

So I'll wait for that knock at my door.
That will herald my rise to top floor.
I'll get that big raise and a room with a view.
Yes I'll be so happy it's me and not you.

Chorus

But what has just happened? This can't be true.
The boss just walked in and said 'We're firing you.'
'You're slow and your lazy", he said with a frown
'You've got till sundown to get out of town'


Verse

There's no need to despair, it's just a blip.
I'm not discouraged from minor slips.
I'll find a new job and I'll wait for my chance.
To shuffle on into the corporate dance.
The corporate dance.
The corporate dance.
