This post came out of a joke between myself and Argent last night at a quiz night. And so, with apologies to Paul McCartney, I present:
Chartered Accountant
Dear Sir or Madam, let me read your books
If the Taxman's due, let me take a look
Coz I studied numbers, and I'm good at Maths
And I need a job, and I wanna be a Chartered Accountant
Chartered Accountant
I've always known what I want to be
Yes I've always dreampt of Accountancy
Coz I'm feeling fiscal and I know my sums
I can buy a tie, would you let me be a Chartered Accountant
Chartered Accountant
Chartered Accountant
suggestions for extra verses are most welcome in response

LOLOL - this is great! I have an accounting degree. I know - you're astonished because I'm so unaccountant-like :)
Jaw has now dropped at The Bug's comment.
I still don't know what the 'chartered' bit means.
Most amusing! We'll have to rehearse it. And Bug, did the Accountancy not take? You're so...... Human!
Its a thousand pages of obscure accounts,
Full of unpaid bills and the cheques that bounce.
I can shuffle them up and make them fit,
And I need a job and
I wanna be a chartered accountant
I'll bet a chartered accountant is like our CPAs here (Certified Public Accountant). They have to pass a really hard test - it's similar to the bar exam. When I took it there were four parts, but I only passed one & decided feck it! I didn't really want to be an accountant anyway. So now I have the MUCH more exciting job of legal assistant. Heh.
Oh yes, this could be a big hit with the numbers crowd. I ought to know...my husband is a CPA (the u.s. equivalent to a chartered accountant). He says it stands for Certified Pompous Ass!
@Peter Goulding~ excellent second verse there!!!
@The Bug~ I would not have guessed that, but you do look studious in those glasses!
Bug - the main thing is that you recovered!
Titus - i think it basically means "registered", but not sure
Argent - we could have a go, but McCartney is one for shoving in diminished ninths that are designed to break your fingers
Peter - excellent addition
Bug (again) - legal assistant could be interesting
Lydia - I'm sure that your husband may be a CPA, but i doubt he is a CPA - if you see what i mean?
