How about this: A song about the job search!

That's right- this recent summer job search has inspired me to write a tune about the promise of future employment. I came up with the idea after searching through Monster.com and seeing one ad that simply said, "WE ARE HIRING!" This ad's over the top nature quickly inspired me to write this song (which sounds like a Dixieland showtune if you could hear the music with it). All things aside though, it's an incredibly cynical song. Then again, it's a bit easier to be cynical about the workforce after having to clean up half eaten chimis at Casa Gallardo's :-)

I hope you enjoy this song!

We are hiring

We are hiring!/
What an opportunity/
We’ll offer pay and food and stay/
And derelict immunity/
Come as one/
Come as all/
Come you fat, short, thin, and tall/
We’re hiring/
We are hiring you!

We are hiring!/
But not just any Joe/
We’re looking for a soft and senseless/
Crow to mold like cookie dough/
Be a man/
Be top shelf/
Become our version of yourself/
We’re hiring/
We are hiring you!

We are hiring!/
With some very special perks/
We need a brain to ease our pain/
And extra arms to do the legwork/
Do some work/
Do a ton/
Just put our name down when you’re done/
We’re hiring/
We are hiring you!

We are hiring!/
We’re looking for a bolt/
To stay in place and run the race/
Then dance our civil pension waltz/
(slows down to dramatic, burlesque show tune ending)
It’s 50 K/
For 50 years/
Then best of luck at Wal Mart- CHEERS!
We’re hiring/
We are hiring/
We are hiring- YOU!
