Take a Number (Remastered)
A song for Bardolemiu, the cheerful clerk at the Office of Ordinance, who loves paperwork more than anyone should. Anyone who's ever waited on hold will recognize him.
Welcome to the Office of Ordinance
My name is Bardolemiu
Please listen closely, as our options may have changed
Step right up take a number
Queue up for a slow ride
Got the answers stay awhile
Rules in place just abide
"I really love paperwork, don't you?"
Got some questions need answers
Follow signs lines are clear
Choose your option see the board
Friendly staff are quite near
"Believe it or not, they don't even have to pay me."
Number one for the permits
Number two for ID
Three is for your taxes
Four’s where lost items be
"Oh, the buttons? Right down my shirt here, just press your selection."
Sit and wait we’ll call your name
Time to chat don't delay
Mead and grog just down the hall
Watch the time melt away
"Right, just touch me."
When your number’s up you’ll stand
Listen close to the call
Someone will be with you soon
Avoid the paper wall
"No, that's how it works. Well, yes, I did make the rules for this part."
Number one for the permits
Number two for ID
Three is for your taxes
Four’s where lost items be
"You'd like to speak to my manager? Then that's the bottom button. No LOWER."
Number one for the permits
Number two for ID
Press zero if you love paper
Anything like me
