T'was Efficient and Cost Effective

(Dave Diamond)



tune: Pleasant and Delightful



T'was efficient and cost-effective on a bright summer's day,

When a consultant and a client were making their way.

The secretaries were typing by every office door,

And the bureau chiefs were lunching from eleven until four.



cho: And the bureau chiefs were lunching (3x)

From eleven until four.



Said the client to the consultant, " You must be on your way.

Your job here is finished. You must pick up your pay.

The work it was rubbish, that you did for me

And I would not have you back again if you worked for free."



cho:

Said the consultant to the client," Strange tales I could tell

Of how I wined you and dined you and treated you well,

And if you could reconsider, perhaps it might transpire

That we could find a place for you, when you come to retire."



cho:



Said the client to the consultant, "Let us not be in haste;

Your skills are unique, and it would be a waste

To train a new contractor, who might prove inept,

So write me a proposal, and I will accept."



cho:



Then a contract from his pocket he instant-ly drew: saying

"Take this, dear consultant, and raise your rates too.

This single-source procurement is yours, without doubt,

And we can keep renewing it, 'till Jack Anderson finds out"
