'Twas down the thread list I did go!

Hoe down!! Row down! Johnny, won't you go down!

I saw poor Mom was sinking low

Ohhh, hoe them down for MOAB!

So with my keyboard and my pen
Hoe down!! Row down! Johnny, won't you go down!
I sent our Mom back up again!
Ohhh, hoe them down for MOAB!


And now the post is bound to stop,
Hoe down!! Row down! Johnny, won't you go down!
For Mom is back up at the top!
Ohhh, hoe them down for MOAB!


The MOAB thread is surely best
Hoe down!! Row down! Johnny, won't you go down!
For MOAB posters never rest!
Ohhh, hoe them down for MOAB!


And every MOABite's a friend
Hoe down!! Row down! Johnny, won't you go down!
On the thread that never seems to end!
Ohhh, hoe them down for MOAB!


So hoe and row them, bold and brave
Hoe down!! Row down! Johnny, won't you go down!
And never let her misbehave!
Ohhh, hoe them down for MOAB!


And if our hoeing's ever done
Hoe down!! Row down! Johnny, won't you go down!
At least we'll know we had some fun.
Ohhh, hoe them down for MOAB!

Ohhh, hoe them down from dusk to day
And heave away for the next of Kay
And hoe them down for MOAB!
