Every day here we quite like to moan Over time bureaucracy has grown Indeed processes are rather long But we adore the chance to sing the UN song Cultures are mixed up side by side With staff assembled from far and wide Misunderstandings float in the air Trying to circle the square Our Boards like to give us lots to do Maintaining peace coloured light blue Many mandates that set our feet Constantly reacting to the UN beat Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah In public we are very PC And most politic internally Yet what unites us mighty and meek Is how we like to speak And often slow, so very slow The memos dancing to and fro Tax-free benefits can’t be too wrong Being virtuous singing the UN song The UN song, the UN song Repeating well the UN song Yes all day long waffling along Yes we can draw it out the UN song O what better than one – more meeting In a nice place with lots of – sight seeing And O how sweet the – DSA We want our air miles come what may Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Please not a teleconference With terrible interference People on hold with music playing In an airless room all one evening Don’t give us more restructuring Changing acronyms and playing Musical offices are not fun From penthouse to basement with no sun But we are really always content To have a good gripe about management Discourse is good, we like to fuss All join the consulting omnibus So round and round lets all hang on It’s good to be in the global throng Singing duties going on and on Perpetually the UN, UN, the UN We’ll sing the UN song. Hey!
