Well, you let the barge go by 

He comin' to talk to you

Who is Senator Pullman anyway? 

Why do I have to signal the barge?

Welcome to the Caribbean, put on a shirt at least. 

The big enchilada is on his way

But there's just certain rules here we can not bend 

Paperman How about the water? My cistern's flat.

Forget about da tings you learned in school 

We use a different box of tools 

And you gotta play by Kinja rules

Paperman 

Senator, I thank you. 

Now one thing's clear 

I've got to hire a Kinjan gondolier 

Pullman 

Now dat a problem- 

Paperman 

What's the reason 

Pullman 

No unemployment-it's high season 

Can't hire no Kinjan to wear dis hat 

Paperman 

And I can't use an alien? 

Pullman 

Don't ask dat 

Paperman 

You've been a great help, sir-you've got my vote 

Just tell me-who's going to row that boat? 

Pullman 

YOU gotta play by Kinja rules 

Forget about da tings you learned in school 

Just take it easy, play it cool 

But be sure to 

Paperman joins Pullman 

Play by Kinja rules 

Extra Chorus

God watches out for drunks and fools 

But forget the Ten Commandments here

Pullman
