about

Written for Campbell Harlan.

lyrics

A lot of folks don’t know that April 28th
Is International Campbell Day
Not the soup although that’s tasty
Or the city near San Jose
No I’m talkin’ about the Finance Man

Yes every 28th of April
I leave milk and cookies on the kitchen table
Not for Santa though he’s awesome
But for someone I see more often
I’m talkin’ about the Finance Man

Finance Man balances the books
Finance Man it ain’t as easy as he makes it look
This year my only wish for the Finance Man is this
Celebrate International Campbell Day
By stickin’ around with us, okay?

You know I heard there’s this place on Woodmont Boulevard
Where they swap human beings out like trading cards
Now I know I’ve never been there
They might be a buncha’ winners
But not as cool as the Finance Man

Now a Finance Man’s gotta’ seek the finest
It ain’t easy choosin’ between A+ and E minus
But ready or not some food for thought
The ones you got respect you a lot
And that’s important for a Finance Man

Finance Man balances the books
Finance Man it ain’t as easy as he makes it look
This year my only wish for the Finance Man is this
Celebrate International Campbell Day
By stickin’ around with us, okay?

What’s my point here, why am I makin’ such a ruckus?
I’m just tryin’ to help adjust the compass
Not to mention no one else is near as good at the budgets
P. S. I heard down on Woodmont they all got mullets!
