Taking a little inspiration from one of my all-time favorites, I re-wrote a song to cheer up an agency friend of mine who had a string of bad luck. I realize my lyrics aren't nearly as genius as the original, but hopefully this at least brings a smile to a few faces.

It's five o'clock on a Friday
The clock watchers all punching out
My manager he walks up to me
And he looks just a bit down and out

He says, "Son, can you find me a resume?
I'm not really sure where to look
But I know that you do which is why I chose you
To help get me off of this hook"

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

CHORUS:
Find us a resume recruiter man
Find me the right candidate
Well, we need you to make this next placement
Or you and I share the same fate

Now I take the req and I look at it
My boss he smiles with glee
I just get settled in and go right back to work
Because that’s how I’ll earn my next fee
He says, "Kid, it is just this economy."
As a smile ran away from his face
"We’ve cut all our fees and still we lose heads
I can’t see us winning this race"

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

My boss is not much of an optimist
Who never looks on the bright side
But he's preaching with fervor about why he’s so sure
That we’re all in for quite a long ride

I search the database and call my networks
As the hours they slowly roll past
Yes, it’s late and I’m tired, but I’ve been hard wired
And I just can’t give up that fast!

CHORUS

It's a pretty hard req to be working on
And my manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me who will earn that next fee
And keep the doors open awhile
And the offer, it comes like we wanted it
And the candidate says ‘yes’ thank you!
And my boss slaps me five and I feel more alive
I say, "That’s why I love what I do!"

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

CHORUS
