I know the tools of sourcing, and I quote the facts logistical
From New Orleans to Shanghai, in order categorical

I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
About optimization, I’m teeming with a lot o’ news
With many cheerful facts about the cost of the blue ocean routes

With many cheerful facts about the cost of the blue ocean routes
With many cheerful facts about the cost of the blue ocean routes

I know our mythic history, Free Markets and Markets B2E
I answer hard acrostics, I’ve a pretty taste for oddities
I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of the major analysts
In auctions I can floor peculiarities ridiculous

I can tell undoubted RFPs from RFQs from RFIs
I know the croaking chorus from the mouths of the vendor sales guys
Then I can hum a fugue of which I’ve heard the vendor’s pitch before
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense we abhor

And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense we abhor
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense we abhor
And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense we abhor

In fact, when I know what is meant by “Dutch Auction” and “Japanese“
When I can tell at sight a credit letter from a guarantee
When such affairs as sorties and surprises I’m more wary at
And when I know precisely what is meant by “commissariat”

When I have learnt what process has been made in modern procurement
When I know more of tactics than a novice in an internment
In short, when I’ve a smattering of arbitration strategy
You’ll say a better Global Sourcerer had never sat a gee

You’ll say a better Global Sourcerer had never sat a gee
You’ll say a better Global Sourcerer had never sat a gee
You’ll say a better Global Sourcerer had never sat a gee

For my global sourcing knowledge, though I’m plucky and adventury
Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century
But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Global Sourceror

But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
I am the very model of a modern Global Sourceror
