Company

Either a group of people engaged in business or an activity, or visitors. Or "visitor" or "guest" or a situation in which one was visiting or being a guest, or being company.

This comes to mind because I have a friend arriving soon who was (I thought) supposed to arrive on Sunday, and so I don't have as much time or attention as I usually do. A college friend I've kept up with, will be here for several days.

I'll never rise up to the top,
But there's one thing clear-
Whoever the company fires,
I will still be here!

Bad company,
Oh, I can't deny
Bad, Bad company
Till the day I die

Here's good luck to the company
Good luck to the barley mow...

It's getting late have you seen my mates?

Roll out the barrel!
We'll have a song of good cheer.
Now it's time to roll the barrel,
'Cause the gang's all here!

I don't think there were more words to the theme song of the old Electric Company show.

St. Peter don't you call me, 'cause I can't go--
I owe my soul to the company store.

We're all here, we've all got dates,
We'll dance all night to the 78s.

Phone rings, door chimes,
In comes company!
No strings, good times,
Room hums, company!
