Vernon was a company man  He kept his hair trimmed short  And his sideburns shaved  He was a Brill cream man  He liked Swiss and ham  He drank beer out of 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 was a company man    Vernon was a company man  He had an Ex-wife and ex-kid  An ex-dog an ex-house  He played footsies with  A dead mans spouse  Then the Marlboro man  Dug him an early grave  He's a company man  He's a company man
