[Intro]
(Soft acoustic guitar strumming)
[Verse 1]
Got an email, bright and bold
"Help us out," the message told
"Just ten minutes, click submit
A free polo's yours, legit!"
Closed the ticket, filled it fast
Dreaming of that shirt at last
Comfy cotton, company crest
Putting survey skills to the test
[Chorus]
Oh, the phantom polo, where'd you go?
Promised sunshine, got only snow
We're still waiting, through the grind
That elusive treasure we hope to find
Oh, the phantom polo, shade of blue
Are you out there? Is hope still true?
[Verse 2]
Weeks rolled by with server lights
Patching vulns through the nights
New standards drop, the work's intense
Security makes no defense
Against the hunger, deep inside
For that shirt they set aside
Coffee spills and keyboard grime
Where's the prize for survey time?
[Chorus]
Oh, the phantom polo, where'd you go?
Promised comfort, dealt the blow
We're still checking, mailbox low
That snazzy trophy lost in the flow
Oh, the phantom polo, badge so fine
Someday, somehow, will you be mine?
[Bridge]
Hope's a thread that's wearing thin
Did Logistics drop it in a bin?
Lost in shipping? Warehouse floor?
Or just a tease forevermore?
Still, we glance at empty chairs
Imagining how it compares
To the overtime, the constant strain
Maybe the polo will ease the pain?
[Chorus]
Oh, the phantom polo, where'd you go?
Promised perk in the status quo
We're still holding, letting it show
That flicker of faith, refusing to go
Oh, the phantom polo, dream so near
Someday, some way, will you appear?
[Outro]
(Acoustic guitar slows, fades slightly, a single hopeful note repeats)
Someday... somehow... some way...
Polo...
(Guitar strum fades out completely)
