[Chorus] V. P. Nichol is a leader, Working for the I. B. M., Years ago he started low, Up the ladder he did go; What an inspiration he is to our men. [Verse 1] Came from Ottawa with pep, And exacting is his step. Boxing and hockey taught him how to fight. Takes out prospects to ringside, Closes deals with practiced stride— And his quota sets a record-setting height. [Verse 2] When the Great War called, he served. Enlisted with zeal and verve. Rose to Major, led with courage and with might. Back to IBM he came. Assists Watson in his aims, To lead I.B.M. in efforts to shine bright. [Verse 3] V. P. Nichol there he goes, Always right up on his toes; He is clever and is ever up to date, In the good old U. S. A., And in countries far away; He is known from Mandalay to Golden Gate. [Verse 4] I. B. M. is his delight— Thinks it morning, noon and night. He is always on the job and ever goes, In the cause of I. B. M., And for any of its men; Now you know why he is always on his toes. [Verse 5] V. P. Nichol, there he goes— Always right up on his toes; At conventions he is full of pep and vim. With his message you can bet, We will then go out and step, For a quota record filled beyond its brim. [Second Chorus] V. P. Nichol is a leader, Years in I. B. M. has spent. When he started long ago, He was just a boy, you know, And has risen to the post—Vice President.
