Danté Man

[Verse 1]
It’s nine o’clock on a Friday morn’
The Deloitte team shuffles in,
There’s Jens and Ewout sitting close with a tear in his eye,
Saying, “Man, where do we begin?”

[Verse 2]
You came here back in ‘21,
A fresh-faced, bright young guy,
Three years and more, and now you’re out that door,
Oh Danté, we can"t say goodbye.

[Chorus]
Don’t leave us this way, Danté Man!
Stay just a little while more,
You kept us in check, now what comes next?
Who’s gonna hold down the floor?

[Verse 3]
Now Jens and Ewout, they all raise a glass,
Rememb"ring the good times we had,
From meetings and calls to the office halls,
Danté, you made work not so bad.

[Verse 4]
The printer will miss you, the coffee too,
And emails just won’t be the same,
No more laughs at lunch, no more “one more round,”
Deloitte won’t feel quite as insane.

[Chorus]
Don’t leave us this way, Danté Man!
Stay just a little while more,
You kept us in check, now what comes next?
Who’s gonna hold down the floor?

[Bridge]
So here’s to you, man, go spread your wings,
We know you’ll do just fine,
But if you miss us, you know where to find us,
The bar’s open anytime.

[Final Chorus]
Don’t leave us this way, Danté Man!
But hey, we won’t stand in your way,
Wherever you go, just always know,
You’ve got friends here any day!
