Lyrics

The applications all filled out
My résumé is impeccible
I pray to god that
I will get the job I'm asking for

As you can see I'm qualified
Although my skills are still untried
I want to be a part of this
You seem to be a winning team

I will do my best for the company
I know you won't regret hiring me
I will do my best for the company
I know you won't regret hiring me

I know that you all value trust
And loyalty above all else
I want to sing the company song
When I awake in the morning

Let me prove myself
And help my dreams through all come true
I'll dedicate my life to you
Just tell me what I need to do

For the company
I know you won't regret hiring me
I will do my best for the company
I know you won't regret hiring me
