Collapse of a Family Firm written by Roy Blackman

I work for a family firm called Body Body Body and Body
The four directors are Anybody Everybody Somebody and Nobody
All the sons of Billy Body the late body now the dead Body

But everybody knew the firm had financial problem
Nobody knew where the money went it was anybody's guess
The shop steward Peabody thought it should go to everybody
And that upset Somebody

You'll never guess what this firm made – bodies
Car bodies Bus bodies Fire Engine bodies Tractor bodies
Lorry bodies Red Lorry Bodies Yellow Lorry Bodies
There were red and yellow lorry bodies all over

Everybody's sons work there but they were nobodies
Somebody's daughter thought she was somebody
But she was anybody's and everybodies and there was nobody
Who hadn't been on the body with her according to all the busybodies

The End came over a two minute job that wasn't done It cost the firm millions
Everbody knew it needing doing Anybody could have done it
Somebody was off sick and Nobody bothered

Me ? I'm not doing it Its not my job
I'm just a bodyguard besides my name's not Body Its Soul -Richard Soul
I'm just trying to keep Body and Soul together
I'm not the only R Soul in this firm

I told Everybody that I wasn't going to do anybodies dogbody job for nobody
Now everbody's out of work
And i'm looking with for a job with anybody
