To the tune of "Pretty Boy Floyd". - per Amos, added by joeclone.

If you gather 'round me children
And if you'll kindly heed
I'll tell to you a story
About management and greed

It was in the 1990's
A heady time no doubt
When business schools decided
To throw their values out

They taught that things were changing
Old methods they did slight
They gave up on morality
On service, care and right

They didn't need production
To make their business grow
The fate of teams would hang, instead,
On which buzzwords they did know

They turned away from service,
Delivery and all that
They swore that information
Would make their coffers fat.

They never stopped to notice
Their style could not succeed
Where once was honest profit
They pushed unfettered greed

...Wal, it's a start anyway.
