O.E. Braitmayer's Fortieth Anniversary Song (10)

[ Verse 1 ] Who's the man with us today who forty years ago Saw the birth of I.B.M. and helped to make it grow, Fed the first of hope and faith and fanned them to a glow? Our dear friend, Otto Braitmayer! [ Chorus ] We're here to cheer him on his victory; Through all these years he's worked for you and me, He's set us an example of true zeal and loyalty, That's why we love Otto Braitmayer! [ Verse 2 ] Who, in pioneering days did help to man the helm Steer us safely through the shoals that sought to overwhelm Good ship I. B. M. that now is known throughout the realm? Our good friend, Otto Braitmayer! [ 2nd Chorus ] Hurrah! Hurrah! for you we proudly cheer! And well we may, for you're a pioneer! Your squareness and your fairness are the things we hold most dear, That's why we love Otto Braitmayer! [ Verse 3 ] Modern days and modern ways have changed things by the score, Business makes demands on men it never did before. Heading the procession still, as in the days of yore Our old friend, Otto Braitmayer! [ 3rd Chorus ] We sing his praise; his name we all revere, On life's highways, you'll never meet his peer, We greet the opportunity to pay him homage here, Yes we do, Otto Braitmayer.
