Lyrics

  1. You got a task, a tick-it, a to-do in your hand,
  2. That makes you re-spon-si-ble, you're fol-low-in’ the plan.
  3. You do the work, you're on the list,
  4. But if it fails, you won't be missed.
  5. 'Cause if the lights go out, or da-ta leaks,
  6. They don’t ask you — they ask the one who speaks.
  7. That’s the ac-count-a-ble, the one who owns,
  8. Not just the steps, but the flesh and bones.
  9. Ay Cee Cee — ALL the things!
  10. ALL the class-i-fi-ca-tion it brings.
  11. ALL the cuuulp-a-bil-i-tee!
  12. You OWN it all — you’re Ay Cee Cee!
  13. R just does the work as-signed,
  14. But Ay Cee Cee's where the buck aligns.
  15. Ac-count-a-ble’s got OWN-er-ship —
  16. Don’t let that slip — now sing it quick!
  17. See “ac-count-a-ble”? Hear that “OWN”?The one who holds the risk a-lone.
  18. They make the call, they bear the heat,
  19. They an-swer when the plan’s in-com-plete.
  20. But “re-spon-si-ble” — that’s the do-er’s lane,
  21. They're in the trench, they feel the strain.
  22. Still if it blows, if it goes down,
  23. It’s ac-count-a-ble who gets the frown.
  24. Re-spon-si-ble does.
  25. Ac-count-a-ble owns.
  26. One gets the check-list,
  27. One gets the throne.
  28. R’s got du-tees, A’s got fate,
  29. R’s just ear-ly, but A is late.
  30. 'Cause when it breaks, when things go bad —
  31. You don't call the do-er, you call the dad. 😅
  32. Ay Cee Cee — ALL the things!
  33. ALL the da-ta, ALL the strings.
  34. ALL the blame if it goes wrong,
  35. Ac-count-a-ble sings the fi-nal song!
  36. Re-spon-si-bil-i-tee gets the task.
  37. Ac-count-a-bil-i-tee wears the mask.
  38. If you're the OWN-er, you're in play —
  39. OWN is in Ac-count-a-blé!
