(with apologies to all and sundry...)

Roger joined the army, he's jumped around the world
Stephen went to night school, he's buying up the world.

Artie became an architect, you should see the stuff he builds,
Derek's an engineer, he's building rocketships to Mars.

Me, I'm a scribbler and occasional mathematician,
it's a living, shh don't tell anyone.

None of us took the deal, all of us left home.

Well, except for Gregory, but he's a politician,
so what the hell do I know...
