Oh, you canna run the Lab (1986)

Words by Brian Randell to the tune of Oh you canna go to heaven


Oh, you canna run the Lab:
Thanks to J.N.T
cos the J.N.T
won't let us be

CHORUS:
They ain't agoing to lead the Lab no more, etc.

With the new Amdahl
cos the new Amdahl
is much too smahl

via a NUNET link
cos a NUNET link
's often on the blink

using MTS
cos the UNIX freaks
claim it's such a mess

using IBM
The Computer Board
won't deal with them

with the Durham folks
cos the Durham folks
don't like our jokes

now that Rod's retired
cos we just don't know
how everything's wired

now that Derek the deft
our service has left
we are quite bereft

without Derek and Rod
we must leave the task
to Almighty God
