[00:04.5]When I was young I studied hard and thirsted after knowledge
[00:08.14]And often burned the midnight oil so I could get to college
[00:11.66]They told me my fine education
[00:15.84]Would help improve my situation
[00:20.27]So then I crammed and crammed til I was almost in a coma
[00:23.77]And CC's and exams til I got me a diploma
[00:27.08]Aha they said now comes admission
[00:31.15]Into a very high position
[00:35.94]Out I went and looked around
[00:37.97]And Macy's was the place I found
[00:40.25]I filled my blanks and application
[00:42.66]And went for my examination
[00:45.2]They took my weight and took my height
[00:47.57]And tapped my chest and tested my sight
[00:49.73]Examined my head took prints of my toes
[00:52.44]Looked at my teeth and up my nose
[00:56.32]Examined my throat and measured my hips
[00:58.45]And even took prints of my fingertips
[01:00.62]Made me say ah and told me to grunt
[01:04.06]Examined my back examined my front
[01:07.76]Then they tested my IQ
[01:10.82]And asked what I'd like to do
[01:13.69]And when that exam was through
[01:17.75]What there was to know Macy's knew
[01:22.86]So I got the job
