Start It Up

(with apologies (but no millions) to the Rolling Stones)

If you start it up

Once you shell out the bucks you'll never stop.

Once they ring it up

For lots of new programs, you'll have to shop.

'Cause they hyped it up

Beyond expectations that wouldn't drop.

Folks will lap it up

'Cause it came down from Redmond's mountain top.

It's Windows Ninety Fiiiiiive

Old programs don't surviiiiiive

Buy RAM and a new driiiiiive.

Long names for files. Trash to explore.

Enjoy computing like it was in '84

When you register

It tells Bill about your expenditures.

Want to plug and play?

With new peripherals you might someday.

Protect your job

While paying for future versions of Bob.

It's Windows Ninety Fiiiiiive.

A beta test gone liiiiiive.

More bugs than in a hiiiiiiive.

The dog learned tricks.

You'll get your kicks

Installing service packs til 1996.It's Windows Ninety Fiiiiiive.

Watch your resources diiiiiive.

Help MS Office thriiiiiive.

Bill has a grin.

You'll help him win

Buying an OS that's from the Recycle Bin.
