Here's a Quarter, Call Someone With Crays

new words by R. M. Panoff

Tune: Here's a Quarter, Call Someone Who Cares

Ye say that yer parallel zoo's in a bind
An' jobs whut should scream still take days.
You threw out the big iron Seymour designed.
Here's a quarter, call someone with Crays!

 Call someone with vectors who might fill their pipes
 With every one of yer sorted arrays
 Don't come 'roun' here whinin' that memory's tight,
 Here's a quarter, call someone with Crays!

Yer Thinkin' Machine jus' won't think like it should
Yer sys op jus' sits in a daze
That discarded din'saur sure ripped purdy good
Here's a quarter, call someone with Crays!

 Call someone with vectors who might fill their pipes
 With every one of yer sorted arrays
 Don't come 'roun' here whinin' that memory's tight,
 Here's a quarter, call someone with Crays!

Yer workstation cluster keeps hoggin' the net
And data gits lost in the maze
Yer students an' disks are both thrashin', you bet,
Here's a quarter, call someone with Crays!

 Call someone with vectors who might fill their pipes
 With every one of yer sorted arrays
 Don't come 'roun' here whinin' that memory's tight,
 Here's a quarter, call someone with Crays!

Those Big Blue Behemoths, they all cut 'n' run
They got scared an' all ran away
Now NSF says that we all can have fun!
Here's a quarter, call someone with Crays!

 Call someone with vectors who might fill their pipes
 With every one of yer sorted arrays
 Don't come 'roun' here whinin' that memory's tight,
 Here's a quarter, call someone with Crays!
 Here's a quarter, call someone with Crays!
