		Goodbye, Terminal Queue

		Lyrics by Richard Berlin
	(To be sung, naturally enough, to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, by
Elton John!)

	When is it gonna go down?
	When is it going to crash?
	I should have stayed in my dorm
	I can do without all this trash!
	You know I've been here forever
	Waiting in the stupid queue
	I've only waited seven hours
	And I'm number sixty-two
	Oo,oo,oo
	Ah--
	Woh,oh,oh
	Oh.

	Watchin' the CERAS ceiling
	It looks like it's getting light
	I haven't even got a terminal
	And I've been waiting here all night
	It's getting so I can't take it
	We're all a bunch of nervous wrecks--
	Guyana was a cocktail party
	Compared to C S 1 O X
	Oo, oo, oo,
	Ah--
	Woh,oh,oh

	So goodbye, terminal queue
	I'm tired of waiting for you
	I can't stand living in CERAS
	Im getting out of this ZOO!
	Back to my own little bed
	To soothe my poor,aching head
	I've finally decided my futute lies
	Beyond the CERAS queue.

	I think I must be going crazy
	I just can't believe my eyes
	Type 'execute', and it says 'DON'T PLAY
	PASCAL WHEN THE LOAD IS HIGH'
	Control-t says the load is fifty
	And all I want to do
	Is forget the day that I ran OPEN
	And never see another queue
	In my life--
	Ah--
	Woh,oh,oh

	So goodbye, terminal queue
	I'm tired of waiting for you
	I can't stand living in CERAS
	Im getting out of this ZOO!
	Back to my own little bed
	To soothe my poor,aching head
	I've finally decided my future lies
	Beyond the CERAS queue.
