The IBM songbook was legendary. CE's, Salesmen (people now, excuse me)
during classes, internal meeting, and various other gatherings sang the
songs on the way to lunch, to dinner, to other meetings. HAIL TO THE
IBM!!!
I have a copy somewhere around here. I'll have to look for it. Probably
with my green card....

Subject: How to Make (IBM) Corporate Holiday Parties Even More Awkward?
IBM — then called “The Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company” — was founded in
1911 when a bunch of smaller companies combined into one larger one. At its
inception, IBM had roughly 1,300 employees, making it a large employer on day
one. And when Thomas J. Watson joined the company in 1914, it really took off.
Watson was chairman and CEO of IBM from then until his death in 1956. When
Watson died, IBM employed roughly 72,500 employees. Watson was known to be a
talented but unscrupulous leader who believed that loyalty to one’s employer
was a hallmark of business success. So, he asked his employees to sing.
