It’s the first day of summer, so:

Click Here to sing along!

Well, it’s time to raise a fuss
and it’s time to raise a holler
About diminishing returns
from the corporate 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

The buyer he told me to
go beat on the supplier
That his margins must be high
with ours under the wire
So I talked to the supplier
he said that 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 ’bout my problems
She discovered that
the supplier was just stalling
Material costs were falling
and the exchange rate was fair
I had wasted all my time
just pulling out my hair

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 a-gonna do
I’ll find me a cure
For the purchasing blues
