Team Building Event of the Past

When organizing documents in my home office, I recently came across the lyrics that we had written for a mock Budweiser commercial as part of a team building event at work. You know the commercials, the ones where a low voice narrates and a higher, heavy metal voice sings "we salute you, Mr. Zamboni driver", etc.

Why am I posting the song here? So Budweiser can pay me lots of money to sing, and pay my colleague lots of money to narrate. Well, not exactly. It's a more mundane reason...I'd like to throw out the paper with the lyrics, but I want to have it captured somewhere.

Anyway, the song we created is as follows:

We salute you, Mr. team building song creator (narrated)
You create songs in a moment's notice that are creative yet meaningless (narrated)
Mr. team building song creator (sung)
Bang those bongos now (sung in background)
Some prefer to lay low and judge, while others dare to soar (narrated)
Mr. team building song creator (sung)
Shake that tamborine now (sung in background)
Teammates may laugh, cry and take notes, but you don't care, your self-respect is long gone (narrated)
Mr. team building song creator (sung)
