That's the Way the Wheels Turn

That's the Way the Wheels Turn
(Leon Rosselson)

Fill out this vacation form
  In duplicate and due
We need the information
  What and how and where and who
We need your registration number
  And age and height and weight
So we can keep the nation
  In a law and ordered state

    That's the way the wheels turn
    'Round and 'round the wheels turn
    That's the way the wheels turn 'round

    That's the way the wheels turn
    'Round and 'round the wheels turn
    That's the way the wheels turn 'round

The forms are stamped and dated
  And they're filed into files
The files are tabulated
  And they're piled into piles
The piles are tabulated
  And they're sorted into rows
The rows are consecrated
  And the paper kingdom grows

I am the man in uniform
  The man without a name
I'm the man who sees the rules are kept
  The rules without a trend
And if you want to come and see me
  There may be some delay
'Cause it isn't my department
  I'm not authorised to say

I'm a servant of the people
  Doing what I have to do
I'm the man who turns the handle
  I'm not turning it for you
So if you wanted to come and see me
  Join the queue and while you wait
Fill in this form
