Intro I made it up one bored afternoon [after a Software Engineering lecture]. It's not particularly good, I know, but it got a laugh from most of the CompSki students down here!

Errors for Nothing

I don't want,
I don't want,
Don't want Mi-cro-soft C(Tm),
I don't want,
I don't want,
Don't want Mi-cro-soft C(Tm),

<Drums>

Now look at that yoyos,
That's the way you do it,
Errors for nothing,
And your bugs for free.

That's the way you do it,
Let me tell you,
Them guys ain't dumb,
Maybe get a error in your C compiler,
Maybe get a program you can't run.

We gotta install Microsoft Pascal(Tm),
DOS and Windows, Delivery-ey-ey,
We gotta install Multimedia Stations(Tm),
We gotta install Powerpoint(Tm) for free.

Look at the Bill Gates with his Windows(Tm) and his large boat,
Yeah buddy that's his own affair,
That little Bill Gates got his own Jet Airplane(Tm),
That little Bill Gates,
He's a billionaire.

We gotta install Microsoft Pascal(Tm),
DOS and Windows, Delivery-ey-ey,
We gotta install Multimedia Stations(Tm),
We gotta install Powerpoint(Tm) for free.

We gotta install Microsoft Pascal(Tm),
DOS and Windows, Delivery-ey-ey,
We gotta install Multimedia Stations(Tm),
We gotta install Powerpoint(Tm) for free.

I should've learned to store using TAR,
I should've learned to use them SUNS,
Debug that momma,
Stick it in scanner, hey man,
We could have fun.

And who's that, what's that,
Hawaian noises,
Gates banging on my Windows(Tm) like a chimpanzee,
No that ain't working,
That's the way he does it,
Errors for nothing and your bugs for free.

We gotta install Microsoft Pascal(Tm),
DOS and Windows, Delivery-ey-ey,
We gotta install Multimedia Stations(Tm),
We gotta install Powerpoint(Tm) for free.

I don't want,
I don't want,
Don't want Mi-cro-soft C(Tm),
I don't want,
I don't want,
Don't want Mi-cro-soft C(Tm),

I don't want,
I don't want,
Don't want Mi-cro-soft C(Tm),
I don't want,
I don't want,
Don't want Mi-cro-soft C(Tm).
