I 'ope everythink's okey-dokey
That you want for your diggings, ole chap:
If not, get on the blower to Bushell
And 'e'll send along Mr Knapp.

Mr Knapp'll get cracking with Admin,
And they'll give a tinkle to Stores—
Though of course it's the arshitecks, ackshally,
That deal with this stuff out o' doors.

So they'll need the green light from Bailey,
And the rest of the 'igh-ups in Town,
Which'll mean that the AM Inspectorate
Will pretty well 'ave to come down.

So you see that the prospeck's quite rosy,
And you 'avent no cause to complain,
And if you don't hear nothink till August,
Just get on the blower again!

1950s?

The post-war Ministry of Works was notable for its chain-of-command bureaucracy
