Lyrics
FINCH:
Now you may join the Elks, my friend
And I may join the Shriners
And other men may carry cards
As members of the Diners
Still others wear a Golden Key
Or small Greek letter pin
But I have learn that’s one great club
That all of us are in
There is a brotherhood of man
A benevolent brotherhood of man
A noble tie that binds
All human hearts and minds
Into one brotherhood of man
Your life long membership is free
Keep a-giving each brother all you can
Oh, aren’t you proud to be in that fraternity
The great big brotherhood of man?
So, Wally, before consider firing everybody, remember this:
One man may seem incompetent
Another not make sense
Well, others look like quite waste
Of company expense
They need a brother’s leadership
So, please, don’t do them in
Remember mediocrity
Is not a mortal sin
FINCH (MALE ENSEMBLE):
They’re (we're)
In (in)
The (the)
