Scratch The Disks, Dump The Core, Shut It Down, Pull The Plug
Roll The Tapes Across The Floor, Give The Core An Extra Tug
And The System Is Going To Crash.
Scratch the disks, dump the core, Shut it down, pull the plug
Roll the tapes across the floor, Give the core an extra tug
And the system is going to crash. And the system is going to crash.
Teletypes smashed to bits. Mem'ry cards, one and all,
Give the scopes some nasty hits Toss out halfway down the hall
And the system is going to crash. And the system is going to crash.
And we've also found Just flip one switch
When you turn the power down, And the lights will cease to twitch
You turn the disk readers into trash. And the tape drives will crumble
Oh, it's so much fun, in a flash.
Now the CPU won't run When the CPU
And the system is going to crash. Can print nothing out but "foo,"
The system is going to crash.
