"Bureaucrat Song" - Original Performance
Performed by Hermes, LaBarbara, Dr. Zoidberg, Farnsworth, Leela, Bender, Morgan Proctor in How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back.
Lyrics:
Hermes: When I was four there was a hurricane in Kingston Town
with a foot and a half of water
Everyone was alright, but I cried all night
It blew my alphabet blocks out of order
And they say this boy’s born to be a bureaucrat
Born to be all obsessive and snotty
I made my friends and relations file long applications
To get into my tenth birthday party.
LaBarbara: But something changed when my man turned pro.
Hermes: I was sorting but I wasn't smilin'
LaBarbara: He forgot that it's not about badges and ranks
Hermes: It's supposed to be about the filin'!
People,
We didn't choose to be bureaucrats
No, that's what our mighty Ja made us
We treat people like swine and make them stand in line
Even if nobody paid us
They say the world looks down on the bureaucrats
They say we're anal, compulsive and weird
But when push comes to shove you gotta do what you love
Even if it's not a good idea
Zoidberg!
Zoidberg: They said I probably shouldn't be a surgeon
Farnsworth: They poopooed my electric frankfurter
Leela: They said I probably shouldn't fly with just one eye
Bender: I am Bender please insert girder
Hermes: Everybody sing Jamaica!
All: Jamaica!
Hermes: Just the bureaucrats - Jamaica!
Bureaucrats: Jamaica!
Hermes: The grade nineteens!
Morgan Proctor: ...Jamaica.
Hermes: Sing me home,
When push comes to shove you gotta do what you love
Even if it's not a good idea!

Performed by Bender, Leela, Fry, Neptunian Elves, Robot Santa in A Tale of Two Santas.

Neptunian Elves: We are free and barely sober
With so many toys to build
The machines are kind of tricky
Probably someone will be killed
But we gladly work for nothing
Fry: Which is good because we don't intend to pay
Neptunian Elves: The elves are back to work today
Hooray!
We have just a couple hours
To make several billion gifts
And the labor isn't easy
Leela: Then you'll all work triple shifts
You can make the job go quicker
If you turn up the controls to super speed
Neptunian Elves: It's back to work on Xmas eve
Hooray.
Leela: And though your cold and sore and ugly
Your pride will mask the pain
Fry: Let my happy smile warm your hearts
Neptunian Elf: There's a toy lodged in my brain
Neptunian Elves: We are getting awfully tired
And we can't work any faster
And we're very, very sorry
Bender: Why you selfish little bastards!
Do you want the kids to think
That santas just a crummy empty handed jerk?!
Then shut your yaps and back to work!
Neptunian Elves: Now it's very nearly Xmas
And we done the best we could
Fry: These toy soldiers are poorly painted
Leela: And they're made from inferior wood
Bender: I should give you all a beating
But i really have to fly
Robot Santa: If I weren't stuck here frozen
I'd harpoon you in the eye
Neptunian Elves: Now it's back into our tenements
To drown ourselves in rye
Leela: You did the best you could I guess
And some of these gorillas are OK
Neptunian Elves: HOORAY! (we're adequate!)
All: The elves have rescued Xmas day
Hooray!
