The Wattstanic

-- Horatio Algeranon's rendition of the traditional song

Oh, they built the ship Wattstanic, 
To sail the world-wide web.
And they thought they had a ship
That the science could never stab.
It was on its Möbius trip , 
That a scienceberg hit the ship.
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Chorus:
It was sad (Oh Tony)
It was sad (Wattsupwithya)
It was sad when the great ship went down...to the bottom of the....
Tonys and Steves, sense and logic took their leaves.
It was sad when the great ship went down.

They were not far from the proof, 
'Bout a thousand miles forsooth,
When the Watts refused 
To face up to the truth.
So they threw it down below, 
Where it was the first to go.
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Chorus:
It was sad (Oh Tony)
It was sad, (Wattsupwithya)
It was sad when the great ship went down...to the bottom of the....
Tonys and Steves, sense and logic took their leaves.
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Oh, our hero tossed the BEST, 
As the ship began to list.
When the band struck up
With, "Tra-la-la, tree-lee" 
"I can't hear you" went the glee 
They were swept into the sea.
It was sad when the great ship went down.

Chorus:
It was sad (Oh Tony)
It was sad (Wattsupwithya)
It was sad when the great ship went down...to the bottom of the....
Tonys and Steves, sense and logic took their leaves.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
