Well, it’s time to raise a fuss
and it’s time to raise a holler
About diminishing returns
from the almighty dollar
I just heard from my boss
who governs me
If I don’t save the cash
he’s gonna fire me
Sometimes I wonder
What I’m gonna do
If there ain’t no cure
For the Purchasing blues
My CPO he told me to
go beat on the supplier
That his margins must be high
while ours are under water
So I talked to the supplier
he said costs were elevated
He was losing all his money
at the rates we had created
Sometimes I wonder
What I’m gonna do
If there ain’t no cure
For the Purchasing blues
So I found a consultant
told her about my problems
She discovered that
the supplier was not stalling
Material costs were rising
and the exchange rate was bad
I had wasted all my time
just acting stark raving mad
Next time I have a problem
I’ll find me a solution
I’ll find a sourcing expert
and get my retribution
No more will I wonder
What I’m gonna do
I’ll find me a cure
For the Purchasing blues
