Lyrics
- Mr. Burns:
- Smithers.
- Smithers:
- Huh?
- Mr. Burns:
- Turn on the surveillance monitors.
- Smithers:
- Yes, sir.
- Mr. Burns:
- Ehh, it's worse than I thought.
- Each morning at nine,
- They trickle through the gate.
- They go home early,
- They come in late.
- Reeking cheap liquor,
- They stumble through the day.
- Never give a thought
- To honest work for honest pay.
- I know it shouldn't vex me,
- I shouldn't take it hard.
- I should ignore their capering
- With a kingly disregard.
- But...
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- Look at all those idiots!
- Mr. Burns:
- Eh, look at all those boobs!
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- An office full of morons!
- Mr. Burns:
- A factory full of fools!
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- Is it any wonder...
- Mr. Burns:
- That I'm singing...
- Singing the blues!
- Smithers:
- Yours is a heavy burden, sir.
- Mr. Burns:
- I'm just getting started.
- They make personal phone calls
- On company time.
- They xerox their buttocks
- And guess who pays the dime?
- Their blatant thievery wounds me,
- Their ingratitude astounds!
- I long to lure them to my home
- And then release the hounds!
- I shouldn't grow unsettled
- When faced with such abuse.
- I shouldn't let it plague me
- I shouldn't blow a fuse!
- But...
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- Look at all those idiots!
- Mr. Burns:
- Oh, look at all those boobs!
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- An office full of morons!
- Mr. Burns:
- A factory full of fools!
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- Is it any wonder...
- Mr. Burns:
- I'm singing...
- Singing the blues!
- What happened? Where are the instruments?
- Smithers:
- I believe they call this a "breakdown," sir.
- Mr. Burns:
- I can't have any breakdowns here! What if there was an inspector around?
- Smithers:
- Uh—
- Mr. Burns:
- Play a guitar solo!
- Smithers:
- Ha, I'm a little out of practice, sir.
- Mr. Burns:
- I said do it! So do it, do it, DO IT!!!
- Smithers:
- Uh, yes, sir.
- (Smithers actually plays the guitar surprisingly well.)
- Uh-huh. Ha ha ha ha.
- Mr. Burns:
- Yes, excellent.
- Smithers:
- Yeah.
- Mr. Burns:
- Well done.
- Smithers:
- Ah.
- Mr. Burns:
- It's beginning to grate... That will be sufficient, Smithers... I said that's enough!
- Smithers:
- Woah. Sorry, sir. Thought I had my mojo working.
- Mr. Burns:
- Heh, hmm...
- That man by the cooler
- Drinking water as if it's free!
- Smithers:
- Oh, that's Homer Simpson, sir,
- That drone from Sector 7G.
- Mr. Burns:
- Yes, well, call this Simpson to my office
- And stay to watch the fun.
- If he's six feet when he enters,
- He'll be two feet when I'm done.
- He brings a ray of sunshine
- To my unhappy life.
- To make him kneel before me
- And slowly twist the knife.
- (Smithers laughs)
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- Look at all those idiots!
- Mr. Burns:
- Duh, look at all those boobs!
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- An office full of morons!
- Mr. Burns:
- A factory full of fools!
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- Is it any wonder...
- Mr. Burns:
- I'm singing...
- Singing the blues!
- Smithers:
- Take me home, sir.
- Mr. Burns:
- I'm trying.
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- Surrounded by idiots!
- Mr. Burns:
- Outnumbered by boobs!
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- An office full of morons!
- Mr. Burns:
- A planet full of fools!
- Mr. Burns and Back-up Singers:
- Is it any wonder...
- Mr. Burns:
- I'm singing...
- Smithers:
- Maybe you should be singing, sir.
- Mr. Burns:
- Oh, (sings flatly) singing the bluuuuuuuues!
- Back-up Singers:
- Look at all those idiots!
- Smithers:
- Mr. Burns, you... you make Muddy Waters sound shallow and cheerful by comparison.
- Back-up Singers:
- Office full of morons!
- Mr. Burns:
- Thank you, Smithers! Meaningless but heartfelt compliment.
- Back-up Singers:
- Is it any wonder
- Mr. Burns:
- I feel like I got a few things off my chest. Now, onto the chests of my inferiors!
- Smithers:
- You did.
- Back-up Singers:
- Look at all those idiots!
- Mr. Burns:
- Why are they still playing?
- Smithers:
- Uh...
- Back-up Singers:
- Office full of morons!
- Mr. Burns:
- They're not on salary, are they?
- Smithers:
- We're not validating their parking, sir.
- Back-up Singers:
- Is it any wonder
- Mr. Burns:
- They're paying for their own coffee now, Smithers.
- (fade out)
