In my head, Yakko and Wakko are singing

Whichever wisenheimer created the website for our institutions credit card policies threw these little nuggets onto the glossary page to round out the alphabetical list:

Xylophone
A musical percussion instrument. Allowable card purchase for the School of Music Only. Sorry!

Yak
A stocky, long-haired wild ox. Animals are not an allowable card purchase. However, special considerations will be given to USF BULLS! (<-- the university's mascot is "Rocky the Bull" - a guy in a giant cow suit)

Zounds
A mild oath used as an exclamation of surprise. Used especially by card Auditors when discovering Yak purchases!

Imagine the above sung in a similar style as this:

If this is what the card policy people do to amuse themselves, I propose a diplomatic mission to liberate them from their cubicles - they have obviously been in there so long that the "fun" centers in their brains may have begun to atrophy from lack of use. I see a possible case of Stockholm Syndrom that requires some intervention and immersion therapy, STAT.
