Lyrics: Middle Management Magic

Faye got promoted, they gave her the keys, A shiny new badge and a raise of two-fifty. Traded aisle two for a desk in the back, Now she's drowning in forms and her inbox is stacked. Her crown's gone crooked, her coffee's gone cold, Same old circus, now it's hers to control! She can summon a thunderstorm, Make a dragon disappear— But she can't make a schedule When half her staff ain't here! She's got middle management magic, And a migraine to match, Putting out fires with fairy dust, And the whole place is out of whack. She's got wings, she's got wisdom, She's got powers untold— But she's filling out reports On why the freezer won't stay cold! Middle management magic, Yeah, she's living the dream— She's the crankiest little fairy Ever put in charge of a team! The deli's gone wild, the dairy truck's late, Another complaint and a customer irate. Registers froze, there's a spill down aisle nine, And corporate's calling for the seventeenth time. She waves her wand, makes the chaos align, Gets written up for "unauthorized divine!" She's battled evil sorcerers, And a three-headed beast— But nothing's quite as frightening As the district boss next week! She's got middle management magic, And a migraine to match, Putting out fires with fairy dust, And the whole place is out of whack. She's got wings, she's got wisdom, She's got powers untold— But she's filling out reports On why the freezer won't stay cold! Middle management magic, Yeah, she's living the dream— She's the crankiest little fairy Ever put in charge of a team! "Faye, price override!" "Faye, the truck's outside!" "Faye, there's a spill in aisle nine!" "Faye, can you stay till ten?" She blows a smoke ring, then grins again. "I'll tell you what you need to do— Wave your wand and find someone new!" The district boss shows up in a suit, Says, "Faye, your numbers need a reboot." "We need twenty percent more!" She wonders what she saved that shrinking spell for. Instead, she smiles real sweet, takes a sip of her brew, Says, "Anything else I can do for you?" She's got middle management magic, And a migraine to match, Putting out fires with fairy dust, And the whole place is out of whack. She's got wings, she's got wisdom, She's got powers untold— But she's filling out reports On why the freezer won't stay cold! Middle management magic, Yeah, she's living the dream— She's the crankiest little fairy Ever put in charge of a team! She checks tomorrow's schedule, And sighs at what she sees. "I think I'd rather go back To stocking aisle three!"
