Players 1 and 2 are after the same role Pretending friendship with a higher power In a laughable effort to get what they want. 3 just drinks coffee. Endlessly. All day long. No-one knows what work she actually does Or is indeed employed to do. 5 will soon be retired Right now he's just tired of all the silly games So he sneaks a nap at his desk when things are quiet And reads his newspaper under the desk. There's one guy, number 6, he brings wine To work and hides it in the toilets Has a plan to confess soon The company are obliged to pay for rehab But at the moment, it's cheaper to turn a blind eye. 4 is the office joke Gets in at seven No lunch, last to leave, A real workhorse But he's next up for redundancy Makes everyone else look bad. And me? You know my story I write poetry Endlessly. All day long. And I drink coffee. I Stay out of the way I don't like office play.

Playing 'Office World'
Players 1 and 2 are after the same role Pretending friendship with a higher power In a laughable effort to get what they want. 3 just drinks coffee. Endlessly. All day long. No-one knows what work she actually does Or is indeed employed to do. 5 will soon be retired Right now he's just tired of all the silly games So he sneaks a nap at his desk when things are quiet And reads his newspaper under the desk. There's one guy, number 6, he brings wine To work and hides it in the toilets Has a plan to confess soon The company are obliged to pay for rehab But at the moment, it's cheaper to turn a blind eye. 4 is the office joke Gets in at seven No lunch, last to leave, A real workhorse But he's next up for redundancy Makes everyone else look bad. And me? You know my story I write poetry Endlessly. All day long. And I drink coffee. I Stay out of the way I don't like office play.
