The "Skeptic Pokey"

(The original title also still works: "Hokey Pokey" )
-- by Horatio Algeranon

You put some data in

You take some data out

You put some data in

And massage it all about

You do the "Cherry Picky"

And you post it all around

That's what it's all about

You put your stats in
You take your stats out
You put your stats in
Correlate them all about

You do the "Batty Statty"
And you quote them all around
That's what it's all about

You put your graph in

You take your graph out

You put another graph in

And you tilt it all about

You do the "Laughy Graphy"

And you post it all around

That's what it's all about

You put some station photos in

You take some station photos out

You put some station photos in

Annotate them all about

You do the "Happy Snappy"

And you post them all around

That's what it's all about

You put your "theory" in

You take the logic out

You put your "fraud claim" in

And you blog it all about

You do the "Skeptic Pokey"

And you turn the public around

That's what it's all about.
