Vernon was a company man
He kept his hair trimmed short
And his side burns shaved

He was a brill cream man
He liked swiss and ham
He drank beer out the can

On saturdays
He was a company man


Vernon was a company man
His hat glommed on to his head
Like a bottle cap

His face read
Like a topographical map
And he could chat like a bird

When there was nothing to say
He's a company man
He's a company man


Vernon was a company man
He had an ex-wife an ex-kid

An ex-dog an ex-house
He played footsie with
A dead man's spouse

Then the marlboro man
Dug him an early grave
He's a company man

He's a company man
