If a packet has a pocket on a socket on a port
And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort
And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort
Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!

If your cursor finds a menu that is followed by a dash
And the double clicking icons put your window in the trash
And your data is corrupted 'cause the index doesn't hash
Then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!

If the label on your cable on the gable on your house
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse
but your packets want to travel to another protocol
That's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall

And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of Gauss
So your icons in your window are as wavy as a zous
Then you may as well reboot, and go without a bang
'Cause as sure as I'm a poet, the thing is gonna hang!

When the copy of your floppy's getting sloppy on the disk
And the microcode instructions cause unnecessary RISC
Then you hafta flash your memory, and you'll want to RAM your ROM
Quickly turn off your computer and be sure to tell your mom.
