The Internets (Is Just A Bunch A’ Tubes).mp3
The internets is just a bunch of tubes
Connecting you to me and me to you
Us to them, and them to us
We're all ridin' on the same cyber-bus
You gotta get hooked up before you ride
Gotta make sure the wrong people don't get inside
And gum up your tubes with them cyber-worms
Or cyber-scam you with their cyber-terms
The internets is just a bunch of tubes
Connecting you to me and me to you
You to them, and them to you
We're all ridin' through the same cyber-tubes
You need a friend who know how it works
But those geeky guys can be such jerks
You gotta figure out some of the stuff yourself
Start cyber-workin on your cyber-health
The internets is just a bunch of tubes
Connecting you to me and me to you
Me to you, and you to me
We're all ridin' round, and it's all for free
Or is it free, you gotta buy a box
And figure out how to hook it up
Takes some money and it takes some time
But then the tubes is free, they don't cost a dime
The internets is just a bunch of tubes
Connecting you to me and me to you
Me to you, and you to me
We're all one big cyber-family
And here is Senator Stevens’s metaphor for “the internets.”
