With no apologies to Gilbert & Sullivan (to the tune of “When I was a Lad”):
When I was a lad I served a term as Office Boy to an Accounting firm. I cleaned the offices and swept the floor and a luxuriant head of wavy hair I wore!
(A luxuriant head of wavy hair he wore!)
I wore that hair so manfully that now I am the CEO with pate shiny!
(He wore that hair so manfully that now he is the CEO with pate shiny!)
As Office Boy I made such a mark that they posted me as an Office Clerk. I wrote foreclosures but gave no thought to the growth of that ever-enlarging bald spot!
(He gave no thought to that growing bald spot!)
I gave it no thought so studiously that now I am the CEO with pate hair-free!
(He gave it no thought so studiously that now he is the CEO with pate hair-free!)
In writing forclosures I made such a name that a keeper of the books I soon became; I wore clean collars and a brand-new suit but found myself becoming a bit less hirsute.
(He found himself becoming a bit less hirsute!)
My hirsuteness went so gradually that now I am the CEO with pate shiny!
(His hirsuteness went so gradually that now he is the CEO with pate shiny!)
My bookkeeping skills became top tier so they went and gave me a job as Cashier. But the stress of that job took quite a toll and soon my barber was reduced to tears!
(And soon his barber was reduced to tears!)
My barber lost his grip on his sanity, but I am still the CEO with pate hair-free!
(His barber lost his grip on his sanity, but he is still the CEO and quite guilt-free!)
Of financal knowledge I acquired such a grip that they took me into the partnership. And that junior partnership, we’ve seen, has giv’n my pate a most delightful sheen!
(Has given his pate a most delightful sheen!)
It’s given me a sheen so glossily, but I’m now CEO and I am quite carefree!
(It’s given him a sheen so glossily that he’s now CEO and he is quite carefree!)
Now workers all, whoever you may be, If you want to rise to the top of the tree, If your a$$ isn’t fettered to an office stool,Be careful to be guided by this golden rule…
(Be careful to be guided by this golden rule…)
Stick to your work…Say goodbye to your hair…And you’ll make all the way to the Executive’s chair!
Yes, stick to your work and say goodbye to your hair and you’ll make it all the way to the Executive’s chair!
