Y2K DITTY
(Linda Hirschhorn c 1998)

The year 2000 is approaching fast --
Some people think the world is headed fo-r a crash;
Come, my friends, let's raise our voices
What else is there to d-o when the on-ly choice is

CHORUS

singing
Calypso -- apocalyptic song,
Calypso a cappella, apocalyptic song.

This century full of terror and fright
Let's just start it over and this time we do it right
Shut off the computers and the videos and TV
Bring peace upon the planet by singing harmony,

Chorus

Millenium fever take us by surprise
Together we will tumble or together we rise
Y2K is an opportunity
To go back to mother nature and comunity.

Chorus
^^

As it has just been Oscar time the title of this thread make me think of Liv Ullman, struggling with the English language, when she announced Francis Ford Coppola had won the best director award for his film Apocalypso Now!

Saw this, and at first I thought it was Jimmy Buffet...

Good song though!
