"Tribute to Mr. Burns" is a song sung by Smithers in the episode Marge Gets a Job. The song is sang at a retirement party for Jack Marley, implying at first that the song will be about him, but it turns to be a tribute to Charles Montgomery Burns instead. Smithers sings this song in the company of a group of dancing girls, parodying Tribute to Charles Foster Kane from the 1941 film classic Citizen Kane.[1]

There is a man...

There is a man...
Smithers:
A certain man...
Choir:
A certain man...

A man whose grace
And handsome face
Are known across the land.
You know his name...
Choir:
You know his name...
Smithers:
It's Mr. Burns!
Choir:
It's Mr. Burns!

He loves to smoke.
Enjoys a joke.
Mr. Burns and Choir:
Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Why, he's worth ten times what he earns.
Choir:
He's Mr. Burns!
Mr. Burns:
I'm Mr. Burns!
Smithers:
He's Monty Burns!
Mr. Burns:
I'm Mister Burns!
Smithers and Choir:
To friends, he's known as Monty,
But to you, it's Mr. Burns!
Smithers:
BUR-BURBURBUR-BUR-BURNS!
Mr. Smithers:
Burns!
