Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When supply chains crack and systems fall apart
We need a playbook, that's where we start
Classify the incident, what's the severity scale
Critical, high, medium, low - we cannot fail
Document everything from the moment it breaks
Every decision and every step that it takes

[Chorus]
C-R-C-R, that's our golden way
Classify, Respond, Communicate, Recover every day
Build the playbook strong, test it through and through
When disruption comes calling, we know what to do
C-R-C-R, keep the business flowing
Incident response with confidence showing

[Verse 2]
Response procedures mapped for every threat
Vendor failures, cyber attacks, supply upset
Define your roles clearly, who does what and when
Escalation pathways from the front line to the den
Time-based triggers tell us when to activate
Emergency contacts that we cannot hesitate

[Chorus]
C-R-C-R, that's our golden way
Classify, Respond, Communicate, Recover every day
Build the playbook strong, test it through and through
When disruption comes calling, we know what to do
C-R-C-R, keep the business flowing
Incident response with confidence showing

[Bridge]
Communication protocols for every stakeholder
Internal teams and customers, don't let the message falter
Recovery workflows bring us back online
Backup suppliers and alternate design
Post-incident review makes the playbook better
Learn from every crisis, follow every letter

[Verse 3]
Geopolitical risks and supply chain strain
Dependencies mapped in sunshine and rain
Testing scenarios, tabletop exercises run
Practice makes perfect when disruption comes
Version control your playbooks, keep them up to date
Modern tech stacks need playbooks that are first-rate

[Chorus]
C-R-C-R, that's our golden way
Classify, Respond, Communicate, Recover every day
Build the playbook strong, test it through and through
When disruption comes calling, we know what to do
C-R-C-R, keep the business flowing
Incident response with confidence showing

[Outro]
When chaos strikes your supply chain today
Remember C-R-C-R lights the way
Playbooks ready, team prepared to fight
Resilience built into every byte
