Take a Number

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

Welcome to the Office of Ordinance
My name is Bardolemiu
Please listen closely
