Lyrics
Delete! Delete! Delete!
Copyright 2012 by Kate Carpenter
Good morning, computer, I greet you this day.
I know you're not smiling, but I am, so Hey!
I'll sing you a song in my favorite key:
Delete! Delete! Delete!
I click on my emails, three hundred and five
Do that many people know I am alive?
They all want my business, a piece of my meat
Delete! Delete! Delete!
Delete all the ads; I delete all the spam
I glance at the subject; I know it's a scam
Nigerian widows with fortunes entreat
Delete! Delete! Delete!
My finger goes faster; my brain's in a blur
This takes too much time and I must get to work
My friend sent three forwards; I'm sure they are sweet...
Delete! Delete! Delete!
Delete all the offers, delete all the deals
Delete the free shipping. What's that? A free meal?
It's gone to the garbage; it's out on the street!
Delete! Delete! Delete!
Life used to be simple before there was you
You crazy computer, O what shall I do?
You take all my time and I think you're a cheat!
Delete! Delete! Delete!
BRIDGE: Life is a war and my finger's a gun.
I'm fighting. I'm furious! I think I have won.
My enemies conquered; I caused their defeat!
Delete! Delete! Delete!
My ranting is over; I need to conclude
I'm sure they all hate me and think I am rude.
Please do me a favor! Make this song complete!
AUDIENCE: Delete! Delete! Delete!
