Help me! Help me! To get on the gravy train,
My child it is easy to get on the gravy train,
You must accept what we teach you,
You must think and talk the way we do,
You must always toe the party line,
You must learn to cheat and tell lies,
You must learn to manipulate the situation,
On graduation you will be deployed,
Into a public post with untold opportunity,
To steal and pilfer the public coffers,
There will be tenders to manipulate,
Expense accounts to plunder,
Travelling allowances to inflate,
Entertainment and more entertainment,
My son, you are now in Aladdin’s cave,
My son, you will be a millionaire.
