I picked this up years ago, you can tell by the date.

You must take us as you find us
And go down on bended knee
You must touch your peasant forelock
When you want to do a pee
You must tolerate our bowels
And be thoughtful to your master
That you’ve got a job at all
You might find conditions dusty
And your wages a disgrace
But the servant who is happy
Is the one who knows his place
Jack must learn to love his master.
Who is beautiful and kind
With a contract that speaks volumes
For the mediaeval mind
Be so good as not to tell us this is 1982
If you find us unappealing
Then you know what you can do
If we offer you employment
From the goodness of our soul
You should grab it though frankly
You’d do better on the dole
