Just received in the email, arranger unknown:
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
kept thinking I could not design
what you had specified
But then I spent too many years
redrawing what you built wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along
and now you're back
with more floor space
I just walked in to find you here
with that QS look on your face
I should have changed that stupid plan
I should have made you pay that fee
If I had known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

Oh go now go, delete that door
move the wall around now
you don't wanna pay for it anymore
Were you the one who tried to break me with RFIs
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I
I will survive....

actual lyrics here if anyone wants to contribute/mutilate the next verse:

    NEXT VERSE DULY MUTILATED:

    It took all the ink I had to print out all your plans
    trying hard to redesign according to your demands
    and I spent oh so many nights
    just drafting shit for you
    I used to cry
    then I set my fees sky high
    Now you see me
    somebody new
    I'm not that chained up architect
    engaged to work for you
    And so you felt like dropping in
    and just expect me to be free
    Now I'm saving all my designs
    for someone who's paying me

    Yee haa

    Next chorus, Gloria swings around and addresses the builder from Village People.:

    Go on now go pull up that floor
    tear down that wall now
    'cause you've not built it very well
    weren't you the one who tried to shunt me out the door
    you think I'd mumble
    you think I'd lay down and die
    Oh no, not I
    I will reject
    as long as i know your telephone
    I know I will stay a pain
    I've got all my time to give
    I've got all your time to lose
    and I'll reject
    I will reject
