Y.A.T.H.O.T.O.F.S.
Lyrics by MC Who Izzy
Music arranged by Kapitano
You are the heartbeat of this office for sure
And I can tell you are very sure...of yourself
You are the heartbeat of this office for sure
And I can tell you are very sure...of yourself
Not full of yourself you know what you can do
And what you can't and think that it's true
And what you are good at is in your pants
no not like that I mean in your pants pockets
with your cell phone
the one with the ringtones
and i think the ringtone you had for me
was very fair
very fair like your hair
I like your hair what's your conditioner
I wondered who you were
because no one would mention her
I mean you in conversation
so are you just a figment of my
imagination
What is this odd sensation
is it the lsd
mixed with the lcd tv screen
I mean what I mean
or is that what I said
I think all the drugs
are goin to mah head
And I dread the feeling
that this gives me
I don't work here
is that why you're staring at me
and glaring at me
what did i do to you
is it cause i followed you home
for the past week or two
For the past week or two
all I've done is follow you
follow and fall in love it's true
but you don't see us like i do
sure i know so much about you
and you don't know my name true
but if you took the time to learn
i'm sure we could use stockhomes to
our advantage in this game
that i call love but you call shame
but it's one in the same
and we're like 2 peas in a pod
i already got our song
on my ipod
it's from when i accidently
turned on the elevator's
emergency break
but it was a mistake
I swear I didn't mean to
But now we can always hear
that song the we had to listen to
for 3 hours straight
in that little box of heaven
I know you loved it too
I mean, that's a given
but anyway back to the point
of this here song
your like the heart that
carries this office along

Re: You Are The Heartbeat Of This Office For Sure
Wrote these lyrics together along with a colleague from my office.
Thanks to this funny guy who calls himself "charismatic dictator".
Not really singing 'bout our office; although the first verse sounds somehow familiar...
Boom boom
boom boom
You Are the Heartbeat of This Office For Sure
Always a joke, your coffee's the best
while others work you are taking a rest
but if there's a pain, well, you know the cure
- and everyone knows:
boom boom
boom boom
You Are the Heartbeat of This Office For Sure
Other girls in the office call you a mess
just one sip of wine and you start to undress
and behind your back they call you a whore
- but everyone knows:
boom boom
boom boom
You Are the Heartbeat of This Office For Sure
You call yourself CEO and claim that you lead
though everyone knows you're just a wannabe
our output increases when you're in the canteen
and your funny clothing... is a must see
but your after work parties are big fun and for free
and the wages you pay make living easy
so no-one let's you know that you act insecure
- 'cause everyone knows:

Re: You Are The Heartbeat Of This Office For Sure
Juliet's Happy Dagger is noah mclaughlin & lalabrookie
you are the heartbeat of this office
but you're a cypher, you're a code
no one knows your real name
no one can count what you are owed
but i remember your first day
you were all energy and nerves
you fit in like you were family
you were here to serve
and all those miles of red tape
you cut through them with aplomb
but maybe it wasn't such a good idea
to come in today with that bomb...
no one knew you were unhappy
oh you never said a word
you were on the phones all day
always speaking, never heard
you would flash us that smiley smile
and it would brighten up our day
& you would brew the best cup of joe
& you would sends us on our way
oh you handled those suits
like the piper with his song
but maybe it wasn't such a good idea
to come in today with that bomb...
no one ever brought you flowers
no trinkets, cakes or cards
no one ever said a simple thanks
for all these years of working hard
you are the heartbeat of this office
but you're a cypher, you're a code
no one knows your real name
no one can count what you are owed
but now is not the time for panic
now's the time for calm
maybe we could talk some more about it
right after you diffuse that -

Get the tea-room nice and clean
Time to put the kettle on for Mr Dawson's morning brew
Hello Dave, how are you?
I made some nice muffins last night
Chocolate chip, go on - have two
I know that they're the ones you like
Ah Nancy
What would we do without you
You're a treasure
They need sandwiches up on the 3rd floor
Nancy, God bless you luv, you saved our arse again
You are the heartbeat of this office for sure
And at the office trivia night you were the only one
that knew Beluga Caviar came from a Caspian sturgeon
Surprising everybody who had only thought of you
as a 50-year-old, inconsequential, stay-at-home, never-married, never-travelled, under-educated, homely, work-obsessed, tea-making, muffin-baking, message-taking, cat-loving virgin
Three cheers for Nancy!
Hip hip hooray!
Hooray for Nancy!
Nancy, Can I have a word?
It seems the economic downturn has scared the shit out of the suits upstairs.
It's rationalisation time, we have to cut some costs
I know it's a bastard,
But we have to let you go.
Three cheers for Nancy!
Good onya Nancy!
Hip hip hooray!
That's out girl!
Hooray for Nancy!

Re: You Are The Heartbeat Of This Office For Sure
You Are The Heartbeat Of This Office For Sure
By Steve Durand
She's been the office manager
For so many years
Instead of a family
She chose a career
Her life's devoted
To the office routine
She makes it hum
like a well oiled machine
She makes the coffee
And answers the phones
Files all the paperwork
With a style all her own
And the corporate motto
That she takes to heart
Our employees
Are our most precious part
But they moved the factory
Down to Mexico
Then they took the help desk
And placed it offshore
Now profits are up ten percent
And they're looking for more still
And the CEO got a bonus
Of three point four mil
Still, we gotta cut expenses
The beancounters say
That's the reason that
Today's her last day
And as the well-wishers
Gather in the hall
One last time
She reads the plaque on her wall
"In appreciation
for the twenty years you've served
You are the heartbeat of this office
for sure"
She throws it in the box
As she prepares to depart
You can't use a heartbeat
If you don't have a heart
