Baguette of bureaucracy

Lyrics

Log the hours, log the hours,
Bureaucrats, where art thou?
We're not paid today,
In New York we stay,
French firm flounders,
No answers, founders!

Meeting minutes, meeting minutes,
For the problems, we've discussed it,
But our pockets, they're empty,
Like a croissant, so bready,
Where's our money?
Lost in bureaucracy!

Oh, the French way, oh, the French way,
Structure over pay,
We laugh, we jest,
In this admin-fest,
But where's our cash?
It's a big ol' gaffe!

Paperwork, oh paperwork,
We've got more than we can work,
From Paris, they say,
"Apologies," but nay,
Still no cash in hand,
Just emails, oh so bland!

Precision, documentation,
But for payment, there's a vacation,
We'll wait for our treasure,
While sipping wine for leisure,
But the bank account's sad,
Like a baguette gone bad!

We'll keep the humor high,
While our wallets sigh,
In this office, we'll survive,
With a laugh, we'll thrive!

Oh, the French way, oh, the French way,
Structure over pay,
We laugh, we jest,
In this admin-fest,
But where's our cash?
It's a big ol' gaffe!

So here we'll wait,
For our fiscal fate,
With French finesse,
We'll manage, I guess,
But right now, we're broke,
Let's share this cruelest of jokes!
