From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
A parody of "Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve" from the musical 1776, begun on IRC.
- I do believe you've laid a hex on the en-cyclopedia!
- And so we must burn the witches
- A curse that we now here rehearse in Wikipedia
- A slashdot flood, a server breakdown
- Plagues of trollers (hi) everywhere
- Or world of warcraft cataclysmic downtime
- I'd accept with some despair
- But, no, you sent us DNA. <-- pseudoscience
- Good God(keep christ out of christmas), sir, was that fair?
- I say it with humility in Wikipedia
- Were your responsibility in Wikipedia
- If you don't want to see us hanging
- From some far-off .com hill
- If you don't want the voice of NPOV
- Forever still
- Then God, sir, get thee to it
- For the ArbCom never will
- You see, we tweedle dee, tweedle dum, and revert
- Not one darn thing ever works
- Piddle, twiddle, and revert
- Nothing ever works in
- Foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy
- Wikipedia!
- They may sit here for years and years on Wikipedia.
- These indecisive grenadiers of Wikipedia.
- They can't agree on what is right and wrong
- Or what is good or doubleplusungood; I'm convinced
- The only purpose this Wiki ever had
- Was to gather here specifically
- To drive its admins mad!
- You see, we piddle, twiddle, and revert
- Not one darn thing ever works
- Piddle, twiddle, and resolve
- Nothing ever works in
- Foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy
- Wikipedia!
