From the Dregs of Society a Theory of Change for Consideration by the Higher Ups

Sung, not spoken:

"What's the word? / Thunderbird / How's it sold? / Good and cold / What's the jive? / Bird's alive / What's the price? / Thirty twice."  

Or, in a more upscale setting, this from A.E. Houseman:

Malt does more than Milton can

To justify the ways of God to man

"The only person we can change is ourselves," I say, "so bottoms up!"
