Lyrics
JOHNNY rocks into his personal Finale, reprising To Be Top Man:
I had a Dream
The world knew Johnny Foster
Top Paper Fortune$ man
Booming through the eighties,
With his five-year Corporate Plan
ERNIE interjects: Ah, that fine print Johnny?
Those days are all behind now
Paper Fortune$ turned to dust

That boom just had to bust
I had a dream, I had a plan
I had a scheme, to be Top Man
I had a dream, I had a plan
I had a scheme, to be Top Man
