Outsource Rock

My boss was lamenting the lack of Schoolhouse Rock-esque songs about outsourcing and sending things "to The Cloud".

I took that as a challenge.


Outsource Rock

CHORUS
Outsource is the horse to bet on,
Though your service is nervous to leave.
Just consider the better return on
Your investment in business IT.

Backups and patching's for losers.
Running a helpdesk's a bore.
Do like those savvy tech choosers:
Send servers packing for off-shore!

CHORUS

We watch as your email host flounders.
We see hard drives falling away.
Fly in the face of your founders.
IT wasn't destined to stay!

CHORUS

Don't worry too much over data.
Privacy's lawyers' concern.
It's only the service that mattas!
Just let your old server farm burn!

BRIDGE
Don't be annoyed at the marketer's ploy
She's trying so hard to assist.
When all's said and done you'll have so much more fun
Your old ways will hardly be missed!

Staff costs just lower the margin,
There's no need to keep them around.
Just like the poor echo and chargen,
They'll bury us all in the ground.

So, ho!
Outsource is the horse to bet on,
Though your service is nervous to leave.
Just consider the better return on
Your investment in business IT.
