Moderately

Fros-ty the Audi- tor was as mean as he could be, with a

Fros- ty the Audi- tor came to see us all one day, due to

cold-eyed stare and a lap - top bag he worked for the S E C.

off -shore subs and rev - rec flubs he vowed to make us pay. There

Frosty the Auditor

must have been some ma - gic in our C F O’s last plan, for

when he ran it past the Feds, he got six years in the can.

Trad. Frosty the Snow Man

The Silicon Valley SongSlowly

Start - ups boast-ing in our o - pen foyer NAS -DAQ up from its

buy - ers wo-ken from their doze, ev’ ry bod - y knows a biz plan and some

lows, “Bil - lings way up!” cried out by a lawyer, and

seed-round dough gets them “up and to the right.” ’Vest-ment bank-ers have

passed from their woe and see their ex -its back in sight.

Recruiting WonderlandModerately, with a lilt

Alarm bells ring, what’s the mat - ter? Ref’rence checks say he’s mad

wel- come to re - crui- ting won- der- land. Gone a-

as a hatter, they say there’s no doubt, our candidate’s a lout,

way is the last guy, his C V was a big lie, his

“blue chip” de- gree was bought for a fee,

wel-come to re - crui - ting won- der - land.

Trad. Winter Wonderland

Over Our Budget and Through Our Cash

Brightly

O - ver our bud-get and through our cash we wan-na go I - P

will help us go - o! O - ver our bud-get and through our

cash our bal - ance sheet’s so low, ’stead of corp’ rate jets and

moun-ting debts we shoulda hi - r’d a C E O!
