Verse 1
I have no dealings and I have no deals
Because we’ve stayed away¹
You know they make up stories, people make up stories²
You know this flipping stuff is terrible³
Like gum on the bottom of your shoe⁴

Verse 2
You flip and you lie, and they can get people to flip⁵
I know all about flipping⁶
It’s⁷ not fair and almost ought to be outlawed⁸
Michael has already been convicted of fraud,⁹ so¹⁰
Come on Jeff, you can do it¹¹
Everybody¹² is waiting¹³

Verse 3
Have you done it?¹⁴
Did you get it?¹⁵
Why do you take notes?¹⁶
Notes create a record and are not a bad thing¹⁷
I never had a¹⁸ buddy¹⁹
Who took notes²⁰
Friends²¹ don’t take²² note²³
The prez had D.O.J. by the throat²⁴

Chorus 1
It’s time to move on to bigger and better things²⁵
I hope you can see your way to letting this go²⁶
Everyone knows the boss has your back²⁷
But there²⁸ is²⁹ anger over a lack of investigation³⁰
Jeff³¹ prepared another resignation letter³²

Verse 4
Oh³³ how could you let this happen, Jeff?³⁴
It’s extremely unfair, and that’s a mild word³⁵
The Office transferred responsibility for remaining issues
To the F.B.I. and D.O.J.³⁶
Oh³⁷ when does it end?³⁸

Chorus 2
It’s time to move on to bigger and better things³⁹
I hope you can see your way to letting this go⁴⁰

Protection⁴⁶ from⁴⁷ dangers⁴⁸
That the game changer⁴⁹

Outro
There is⁵⁰ anger over a lack of investigation⁵¹
In fact⁵² I feel⁵³ threatened⁵⁴ by⁵⁵ a lack of⁵⁶

She’s a bright, well connected
Sadistic sociopath⁶³
