My
Little Home Computer
Tune: The Holly and the Ivy
My little home computer
Is wonderful to see
With the spinning of its little floppy disk
And the glowing C R T.
I got a home computer
'Twas on a Christmas day.
At first I didn't like it
But I guess it's here to stay.
The instructions for my computer
Are written, if you please,
In a mixture of Middle English
And pidgin Japanese
refrain
My computer can play music,
It warbles like a bird
That's got drunken on fermented berries--
Wierdest thing you ever heard.
My computer it draws pictures
On its little TV screen.
Most expensive box of fingerpaints
Anyone has ever seen.
refrain
Oh to use a home computer
Is as easy as can be;
Any ten-year-old can get it right.
Wonder what is wrong with me.
I can't program my computer
It does only what I say.
I only wish that I could write a program
That would make it go away.
refrain
