Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When prime contractors sign the deal
Security requirements must be real
Flow down the chain from tier to tier
Each level must make standards clear
Documentation travels through each hand
Compliance spreads across the land
From top contractor to smallest part
Every supplier plays their part

[Chorus]
Flow, Build, Monitor - three keys to success
Flow down requirements, no room for less
Build your programs that scale and grow
Monitor always, you need to know
Supply chain security, link by link
Flow, Build, Monitor - don't let it sink

[Verse 2]
Building programs that can expand
Across suppliers throughout the land
Templates and frameworks standardize
Training modules that you devise
Audit procedures replicated
Quality systems integrated
Scale your compliance, make it work
From major vendors to sub-tier clerks

[Chorus]
Flow, Build, Monitor - three keys to success
Flow down requirements, no room for less
Build your programs that scale and grow
Monitor always, you need to know
Supply chain security, link by link
Flow, Build, Monitor - don't let it sink

[Bridge]
Continuous assessment never stops
Monitor performance, check all the shops
Sub-tier suppliers need watching too
Visibility matters in all you do
Risk indicators flash the warning signs
Dashboard metrics keep you in line
Real-time data flows upstream
Keeping secure the defense dream

[Verse 3]
From prime contractor to the end
Security requirements must extend
Every handoff needs verification
Complete and proper certification
Build the systems that can grow
Monitor everything you need to know
Defense supply chains strong and true
Subcontractor management through and through

[Chorus]
Flow, Build, Monitor - three keys to success
Flow down requirements, no room for less
Build your programs that scale and grow
Monitor always, you need to know
Supply chain security, link by link
Flow, Build, Monitor - don't let it sink

[Outro]
Management excellence, tier by tier
Flow, Build, Monitor - keep standards clear
