Take a letter
To a Mr John Hudson
Hudson's Floor Wax
You will find a invoice in the file for the address
Dear Mr Hudson
Colon
My eyes are fully open to my awful situation
So I'm writing you a letter to demand an explanation
When the floor wax that
We bought from you arrived here Monday morning
We discovered upon usage
That the fumes should have a warning
Since the only possiblity is that your wax is rancid
I request a full refund of all the money we advance-ed
And unless you can convince me you've improved the floor wax batter
We will take our business elsewhere so
I hope you solve this matter
How's my speed Miss Dillmount
A little slow perhaps
Mm
Enclosed you'll find a small container
Of the stuff I talk about
Just carefully remove the lid
And take a whiff if you've a doubt
I'm sure you wouldn't want me to alert the daily papers
With the news of how our office was affected by your papers
Which is why I choose to write to you a confidential letter
Full of strong recommendation
That you make your floor wax better
I just hope it won't require us to have our floor relaid
And if it does you may expect a bill
Sincerely Trevor Graydon
Now read that back to me please
Certainly
Dear Mr Hudson
Colon
My eyes are fully open to my awful situation
So I'm writing you a letter to demand an explanation
When the floor wax that
We bought from you arrived here Monday morning
We discovered upon usage
That the fumes should have a warning
Since the only possiblity is that your wax is rancid
I request a full refund of all the money we advance-ed
Niiiice
And unless you can convince you've improved the floor wax batter
We will take our business elsewhere so
I hope you solve this matter
Not half bad continue please
Enclosed you'll find a small container
Of the stuff I talk about
Just carefully remove the lid
And take a whiff if you've a doubt
I'm sure you wouldn't want me to alert the daily papers
With the news of how our office was affected by your papers
Which is why I choose to write to you a confidential letter
Full of strong recommendation
That you make your floor wax better
I just hope it won't require us to have our floor relaid
And if it does you may expect a bill
Sincerely Trevor Graydon
Miss Dillmount
May I speak frankly
Yes
If I could be so lucky
As to have a good stenographer
To keep this place as up-to-date
As her short skirt and bobbed coiffure
I wouldn't have to worry 'bout
Our soured office planking
And could concentrate on generating
Profits ripe for banking
That is why I'm testing you
With this outrageous correspondence
Which I don't intend to actually mail
To the respondents
So if you can make sense of my unintelligible patter
Then the job is yours and Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter
Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter
Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter
Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter
Hudson's Floor Wax doesn't matter
Now I want that letter on my desk in two minutes flat
Man your machine go
Time
Dear Mr Hudson
Colon
My eyes are fully open to my awful situation
So I'm writing you a letter to demand an explanation
When the floor wax that we bought from you
Arrived here Monday morning
We discovered upon usage that the fume
Should have a warning
Since the only possibility is that the wax is rancid
I request a full refund of all the money we advanced
And unless you can convince me
You've improved the floor wax batter
We will take our business elsewhere
So I hope you solve this matter
So I hope you solve this matter
So I hope you solve this matter
So I hope you solve this matter
So I hope you solve this matter
So I hope you solve this matter
So I hope you solve this matter
So I hope you solve this matter
Matter matter matter matter
Going on
Enclosed you'll find a small container
Of the stuff I talk about
Just carefully remove the lid
And take a whiff if you've a doubt
I'm sure you wouldn't want me
To alert the daily papers
With the news of how our office
Was affected by your vapours
Which is why I choose to write to you
A confidential letter
Full of strong recommendation
That you make your floor wax better
I just hope it won't require us
To have our floor relaid and
You have made the team Miss Dillmount
You have made the team Miss Dillmount
Tell me where my desk is
When we eat lunch
How much I'll be paid and
Nice to meet you I know we'll be friends
Just call me Millie Graydon
Millie Graydon
I mean Dillmount
Millie Dillmount
Someday Graydon
Graydon Dillmount Dillmount
Graydon Graydon Dillmount
Graydon
Ahh
