The Gates Songtext
von Da Vinci’s Notebook

Workin′ on a laptop, close to the end
Of a job I've been doin′ since half past ten
I don't believe that it's frozen again
The system has gone down-o, down-o, down-o
I don′t believe that it′s frozen again, the system has gone down-o

So I took it down to the help desk guy
I said, "Make it better, or I'm gonna cry"
He said, "I′m sorry, your computer has died
The data can no longer be found-o, found-o, found-o"
He said, "I'm sorry, your computer has died, the data can no longer be found-o"

To the roof with the laptop I did go
Over to the edge and I gave it a throw
And when it arrived seven stories below
It really made a mighty fine sound-o, sound-o, sound-o
When it arrived seven stories below, it really made a mighty fine sound-o


Well, that didn′t do enough to ease my pain
So I went down to Dulles and I got on a plane
Sayin', "This is all Billy Gates′s fault
I'm gonna be trackin' him down-o, down-o, down-o
This is all Billy Gates′s fault, I′m gonna be trackin' him down-o"

Touched down in Seattle and got off the plane
Hit Starbucks to get out of the rain
Paid all o′ my dough for a thimble o' joe
Full o′ foam and the cinnamon brown-o, brown-o, brown-o
All o' my dough for a thimble o′ joe full o' foam and the cinnamon brown-o

When the Gates found out about my plan
He packed up a bag, turned tail and ran
Megalo-man took it out on the lam
And hid way underground-o, ground-o, ground-o
Megalo-man took it out on the lam and hid way underground-o

Well, the Gates been a'runnin′ ever since that day
Thinks he can hide but he can′t get away
When I finally find his little skinny behind
Gonna kick it all over this town-o, town-o, town-o
Finally find his little skinny behind, gonna kick it all over this town
