Lyrics
There was a lonesome boy with a hapless frown
Whose luck spun around when Auntie came to town
A marketeer who spied a kid with nothing to lose
He fed the boy a deal that he couldn't refuse
Yes, Auntie welcomes you
With arms open wide
And all you gotta do is sign the dotted line
The boy signed up
He didn't hesitate
Anything to rid him of his papa's fate
The marketeer said "Okay, we'll start right away"
"The first week of the training, let no one get in your way"
No rules, no oversight
No ethics to abide
The only thing that matters is the bottom line
You buy low, you sell high, you profit more
You cut the costs, you raise your prices, profits soar
The joy of Laissez-Faire
Oh, you know it well
Makin' Auntie proud, well wouldn't that be swell
(Rock n' roll)
(Oh, yeah)
(Cats are dancing)
(Oh, let's go)
The boy got straight to working
Next thing he was hired
It would be fair to say it was a trial by fire
He was a natural
And he quickly learned
To make a red-hot deal without getting burned
He was unscrupulous
And he swiftly rose
When you do your business Laissez-Faire then anything goes
You buy low, you sell high, you profit more
You cut the costs, you raise your prices, profits soar
The joy of Laissez-Faire
Oh, you know it well
Makin' Auntie proud, well wouldn't that be swell
(Come on cats let's go)
(Let's change it up now)
Now he's a lonesome man with a charming smile
Sell a diet toothpaste with impeccable style
The perfect poster boy
Oh, can't you see
Yes, he's a tribute to Auntie's family
And if it worked for him
Then it can work for you
You could be the next 'Auntie's favorite nephew'
You buy low, you sell high, you profit more
You cut the costs, you raise your prices, profits soar
The joy of Laissez-Faire
Oh, you know it well
Makin' Auntie proud, well wouldn't that be swell
(Come on cats let's go one more time)
(Oh, let's go)
(Swing it now, oh yeah)
(That's the ticket)
You buy low, you sell high, you profit more
You cut the costs, you raise your prices, profits soar
The joy of Laissez-Faire
Oh, you know it well
Makin' Auntie proud, well wouldn't that be swell
We makin' Auntie proud, well wouldn't that be swell
We're makin' Auntie proud, well wouldn't that be swell
Yeah
Love you Auntie
