Ghost Workers In PRASA

 To the  tune of Ghost Riders In The Sky


An auditor was checking stats
One bright and sunny day
Upon a file he lingered 
And his face turned ashen grey

Cause all at once a mighty pile
Of ghostly names he saw
Chowing up the wages bill
On each page there were more

A thousand names went rolling by
They were piled up to the sky
And when he came to Mickey Mouse 
He felt that he might die 

His heart was seized with panic
There were spots before his eye
For he saw the numbers coming hard
And he gave a mournful cry

The numbers haunt that auditor
Right up until today
He's trying to forget them 
But they just won't go away

If you walk by his office
Or perhaps go driving by
Above the noise of traffic
You'll hear his mournful cry

The minister was unfazed
He sent a cheerful tweet
'We've saved the country millions
And everything is sweet'

To swallow that weird logic
You must be pretty dense
The auditor keeps crying out
As if he's lost his sense

Mayebabo
Yoh, Yoh, Yoh, Yoh
