GOD REST YE CS STUDENTS NOW God rest ye CS students now, The bearings on the drum are gone, Let nothing you dismay. The disk is wobbling too. The Vax is down and won't be up We've found a bug in Lisp and Algol Until the first of May. Can't tell false from true. The program that was due this morn And now we find that "d" is really Won't be postponed, they say. Oh point four oh two. (chorus) (chorus) They've just called up DEC and And now some cheery news for you, They'll send without delay, The printer is also dead. An engineer who knows to fix the VAX, They are going to print your files But it costs three hundred k. On the research printer instead. Harry Bovik committed suicide and The turn around time is ninteen weeks We will bury him today. And the print cannot be read. (chorus) (chorus) And now we would like to say to you, CHORUS: Oh! tidings of comfort and joy, Before you go away. Comfort and joy, We hope the news we have brought to you Oh! tidings of comfort and joy. Won't ruin your entire day. You've got another program due Tomorrow by the way.
