A beep from my spy fork; I melt when I see you've logged in.
I see we're alone, and suddenly I grin.
To have you ask for help
Would truly be opportune.
And, like all new users in the world,
You'll be asking soon.

    But it was just your stupid batch job,
    Set to run at three.
    Tell me it was just your stupid batch job,
    Starting to run at three.

Soon you'll grow desperate,
And you will come to me.
A nasty little bug, but I will fix it
In two minutes, maybe three.

And then you
Will smile gratefully...
A pity you're not here; all too real it all seems.

    But it was just your stupid batch job,
    Set to run at three.
    Tell me it was just your stupid batch job,
    Starting to run at three.

Every night, with my keys I play:
    "My love!  Hear my plea!
    Don't be afraid; submit yourself to me,
    Or I will surely die!
    Your love is
    Virtually
    Everything that's pleasant."
But, in reality, you aren't even present!

    For it was just your stupid batch job
    -- Once again --
    Set to run at three.
    Tell me it was just your stupid batch job,
    Starting to run at three.
