[Verse 1] When a company buys supplies in March But won't use them until May arrives The cash goes out, the books mustarch To match expenses when revenue thrives It's not about when money flows away It's when the benefit helps you earn your pay [Chorus] Match it up, match it right Expenses follow revenue's flight When sales appear, costs draw near That's the principle crystal clear Match it up, don't delay Record expenses when they create your way [Verse 2] Sarah's bakery buys flour today For wedding cakes she'll bake next week The flour cost can't run away To this month's books where it would sneak She'll record that cost when ovens glow And wedding revenue starts to show [Chorus] Match it up, match it right Expenses follow revenue's flight When sales appear, costs draw near That's the principle crystal clear Match it up, don't delay Record expenses when they create your way [Bridge] Salaries for the sales team earning Commissions when the deals close tight Office rent while machines are churning Product costs that make profits bright Every dollar finds its proper place When matching puts them face to face [Verse 3] Depreciation spreads the cost Of equipment over useful years So monthly profits aren't tossed By large purchases that bring tears The matching rule keeps books in line Revenue and expenses intertwine [Chorus] Match it up, match it right Expenses follow revenue's flight When sales appear, costs draw near That's the principle crystal clear Match it up, don't delay Record expenses when they create your way [Outro] When revenue sings its song Expenses dance along Together they belong Matching makes accounting strong
