I Used To Sing This



I originally heard this song on Dr Demento. Chris McKelvey, Carl Cross, Cordell McGuire and I would sing it for our after Champions parties. Cordell would do most, the rest of us were just chorus.

"White Collar Holler" Stan Rogers.

Well...

I rise up every mornin' at a quarter to eight.
Some woman who's my wife tells me not to be late.
I kiss the kids goodbye -- can't remember their names.
And week after week it's always the same.

And it's...
Homeboys, can't you code it (huh!) and program it right?
Nothin' ever happens in this life uh mine.
I'm haulin up the data on the Xerox line.

And it's code in the data, give the keyboard a punch.
Then cross-correlate and break for some lunch.
Correlate, tabulate, process and screen,
Program, printout, regress to the mean.

And it's...
Homeboys, can't you code it (huh!) and program it right?
Nothin' ever happens in this life uh mine.
I'm haulin up the data on the Xerox line.
Yeah...then it's home again eat again watch some TV,
Make love to my woman at 10:53.
I dream the same dream when I'm sleepin' at night,
I'm soarin' over hills like an eagle in flight.

And it's...
Homeboys, can't you code it (huh!) and program it right?
Nothin' ever happens in this life uh mine.
I'm haulin up the data on the Xerox line.


Some day I'm gonna give up all the buttons and things.
I'll punch that time clock 'till it can't ring.
Burn up my necktie and set myself free.
'Cause no one's gonna fold, bend or mutilate me!


And it's...
Homeboys, can't you code it (oooo) and program it right?
Nothin' ever happens in this life uh mine.
I'm haulin up the data on the Xerox line.

And it's...
Homeboys, can't you code it (huh!) and program it right?
Nothin' ever happens in this life uh mine.
I'm haul-in..up..the..data...on...the...Xe-erox...line.
