Gimme a Y!
Y!
Gimme a 2!
2!
Gimme a K!
K!
What's that spell ?
Y2K!

Y2K!
Yeah, come on all of you, big strong nerds,
Uncle Sam's laid a bunch of turds.
He's got himself in a terrible place
Way down yonder in cyberspace
So put down your books and pick up a mouse,
We're gonna rock this whole damn house.
And it's one, two, three,
What are we coding for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a crock,
Next stop is TEOTWAWK;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up for William Gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.
(With apologies to Country Joe McDonald, who had nothing to do with this
parody.)
