'Born to the m-i-i-i-i-i-ld' (To the tune of Steppenwolf's 'Born to be Wild')

Calculator running

Totalling invoices

Looking at debentures

And all other finance choices

Yeah darling, gonna make it add up

Put the world in a big spreadsheet

Do all of my sums at once and

Leave it really neat

Some find accounts frightnin’

Leaves them full of wonder

All of these expenses

Just what heading are they under?

Yeah darling, gonna make it add up

Put the world in a big spreadsheet

Do all of my sums at once and

Leave it really neat

All prop-er-ly filed

I was born, born to be mild

Tax returns so sly

I make the taxman cry

Born to be mi-i-i-ild

Born to be mi-i-i-ild
