Dear Kief, New Guy
(To the tune: New York, New York - with apologies to Frank Sinatra)Start spreading the news, we met him today.
He is our supervisor now, from old New York
He’s filling the shoes, quite ably, I’d say
To make a brand new start of it, dear Kief, new guy.
He wants to help us solve our problems that will arise
And with good strategies there - Help us to train.
These feelings of fear, are melting away
With Kief our supervisor now - in old new York
Since we have him there now, he’ll surely show us how
To be our best, dear Kief, new guy.
Dear Kief, new guy
He wants to help us from the city, that never sleeps
And write us quality scripts, top of the line, easy to use,
A number one.
These foundation blues, are melting away
He's gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if he can make it there, he's gonna make it anywhere
We're glad you're there - Dear Kief, new guy
New guy.
