Kathy Mar Calm Down Too Lyrics

Calm Down Too Lyrics

The filkers are attacking our beautiful Technese



Complaining 'cause we talk out software anywhere we please



They're drowning in their filkzines so they've got a lot of nerve



I think another music program's just what they deserve







Chorus:	 Calm down, it's only eighths and quarters



	 Calm down, it's only lines and staffs



	 Calm down and put it in assembly



	 It's not my fault I have a voice at which the world just laughs







They sit around for hours with guitars in every lap



The other filkers all applaud them even when it's crap



With rhymes and times and little chimes and dimes for jukebox play



I'd trade a hundred filkers for a mainframe any day







The filking faction's growing they're in consuites through the land



And some of the fanatic ones will write them on demand



I'd rather be a renegade and program all I can



And I don't care if they complain my programs never scan







I think I'll make a program to write some filks for me



And sing them in a pretty voice across my new T.V.



I'll set up in the corner of the filking in consuite



And if I do it well I'll make all filkers obsolete







Chorus:	 Calm down, it's only words and music



	 Calm down, it's only notes and chords



	 Give up I'll never learn to sing it



	 If you persist I'll send you to your ultimate reward



	 I'd rather program any day than sit here being bored



	 I'll never have a voice unless it's programmed in and stored, oh no
