Lyrics
Spoken: It's a golden opportunity that's knocking And you know by now the answer's up to you But you're ready, because you have an education So, be confident, there's nothing you can't do

You can soar above the mediocre Soar above the rest! If you do your work with vigor You'll be bigger than the best! Be proud of your ambitions Being lazy is a curse We want no empty pockets and we want no empty purse

Work for a living, love for your work Don't think about vacations, you can overcome that quirk Insist on being heard, a squeaky wheel can't be ignored If you do what's right, if you prove you're bright You'll be chairman of the board Think about it, chair of the board Yes!

Spoken: Oh, Ebeneezer, if only I could be you!

When the world snaps to attention, you should be the first to SNAP! And you'll wind up on a mountain top with a feather in your cap Keep your mind a'working and your feet firm on the ground Your dedication makes you king, today you're being crowned Keep your mind a'working and your feet firm on the ground Your dedication makes you king, today you're being crowned Your dedication makes you king, today you're being crowned
