The Boss Comes To Dinner

The Boss Comes to Dinner By Elton Camp It was for the very first time in my life We asked to dinner the boss and his wife Company’s sales and profits were down And talk of layoffs had been going around So we thought it’d be a good idea to hurry And favor with the boss try hard to curry The two showed up a little before eight We made sure that dinner wouldn’t be late The house was shining, so spick and span To impress him, we had done all we can Our little son Joey came out into sight To meet the boss and to say “Goodnight” “Sir, my Dad talks about you a whole lot. He tells about how you are such a big shot. If there’s time, to see you do it, I do wish. My Father says that you drink like a fish.”
