1. The Office is in the pooh again oh me oh my.
The Office is in the pooh again and I know why.
The poor old gov't has run out of funds,
while the pollies are having their coffee and buns
'N we'll all be better off when the Bureaucrats get the boot.

2.The Office has never got out of the muck, oh me oh my.
They're getting into a whole lot of 'truck' Do you know why?
The poor old ship has lost its rudder,
The system is bursting like old Bessie's udder 
'N we'll all be better off when the Bureaucrats get the boot.

Author Notes
I wrote this song for a "Business Plan Meeting" we were to have at the Tax Office in the mid-nineties. Now added to my book -"The Little Dog That Wouldn't Let Go"- subtitle "GOD NEVER LETS GO!" The meetings were sometimes more like "Um 'n ars" than Seminars. Groan! As stated the original tune is well known, this is my own arrangement.

Here's a link to the relevant chapter in my book.

Here is a Link to a very good explanation of the origin of the original tune I used.
