- Lyrics:
- Hermes: When I was four there was a hurricane in Kingston Town
- with a foot and a half of water
- Everyone was alright, but I cried all night
- It blew my alphabet blocks out of order
- And they say this boy’s born to be a bureaucrat
- Born to be all obsessive and snotty
- I made my friends and relations file long applications
- To get into my tenth birthday party.
- LaBarbara: But something changed when my man turned pro.
- Hermes: I was sorting but I wasn't smiling
- LaBarbara: He forgot that it's not about badges and ranks
- Hermes: It's supposed to be about the filing!
- People,
- We didn't choose to be bureaucrats
- No that's what our mighty Ja made us
- We treat people like swine and make them stand in line
- Even if nobody paid us
- They say the world looks down on the bureaucrats
- They say we're anal, compulsive and weird
- But when push comes to shove you gotta do what you love
- Even if it's not a good idea
- Zoidberg!
- Zoidberg: They said I probably shouldn't be a surgeon
- Farnsworth: They poopooed my electric frankfurter
- Leela: They said I probably shouldn't fly with just one eye
- Bender: I am Bender please insert girder
- Hermes: Everybody sing Jamaica!
- All: Jamaica!
- Hermes: Just the bureaucrats - Jamaica!
- Bureaucrats: Jamaica!
- Hermes: Just the grade nineteens!
- Morgan Proctor: ...Jamaica.
- Hermes: Sing me home,
- When push comes to shove you gotta do what you love
- Even if it's not a good idea!

- Yes, I'll shoot her with my railgun when she comes, when she comes.
- I'll be blasting all the humans in the world,

- Beck & Bender: His name is you and me!
- Bender: Don't melt me down into a crowbar,
- Beck: It suffers alone,
- Bender: Just 'cause I can't move my arms and legs. [He starts moving his arms and legs]
- Beck: Hey!
- Bender: Or toss me into a trash can,
- Beck: Bender, what are you doin'?
- Bender: Just 'cause I can't cook you ham and eggs.
