YOU'VE GOT SPAM
( Funny computer song lyrics )
Copyright © 2003 - mickterry.com

Very first thing in the morning,
my computer gets turned on.
Got to catch the daily forecast,
latest news, what's going on.
With a shrug, I check my e-mail
just to see who's written me.
I'm expecting urgent business
I should read before I leave.

After seven failed connections,
e-mail's finally coming through.
And the moment that I'm hooked up,
I know I am really screwed.
There's a sinking in my stomach.
There's a brooding sense of dread.
And the words of my computer
start an aching in my head.

  "YOU'VE GOT SPAM.  YOU'VE GOT SPAM.
    You've got more than your share.
    Could it be any wonder you've got thinning hair?
    YOU'VE GOT SPAM.  YOU'VE GOT SPAM,
    wasting all of your time.
    And you've started dreading just going on line.
    You've been spammed."

It's become a daily ritual
that I've easily learned to hate
with my list of unread e-mails
more than nine hundred sixty-eight.
Now, that list is nearly doubled
by this latest e-mail truck.
Just another daily onslaught
in a system that is ... junked.

    CHORUS

        Don't- they- realize
        I've no interest in their spam.
        & even if I did, do they need to send it again?
        & again from a different sender
        or a sneaky subject line
        like their constant, ceaseless bombardment
        might make me change my mind?

Never found that urgent business,
but it probably got trapped
under diet plans or debt help
or Viagra, porn or crap,
or deleted by a filter
that takes out what I must read,
leaving all the junk I don't want,
like "enlarged anatomy".

    CHORUS

(spoken)
        "Warning:  
        Your Inbox has exceeded your quota ... again.
        Might we interest you in some Canadian meds?
        Or life insurance?   Government grants?
        Credit reports or diploma mills?
        eBay or Google scams?
        Debt consolidation?
        Or Nigerian diplomats
        entrusting you with their millions?
        Or a zillion tons of similar crap?
        Or how about some enticing attachments
        you just know are full of viruses & worms? ..."
