"Twas our contract extension
and all through the mess
not a substitute's hired
we'll get PTF's

Our union to help us
gave up our relief
they said for our own good
that was their belief

and management smiled
their grin was so sly
get that off the table
just kiss that goodbye

And now for the pay
for the mileage used
let's cut that  a little
and keep them confused

and maybe we'll do
something sweet in a way
we'll give the poor fools
employee appreciation day

Some places have missed it
and some missed it not
why here  in our office
umbrellas  we got
 
So maybe I don't need
a raise in my pay
I'll stroll to the poor house
and stay dry on the way.
