pencil-vania  (tune: "oh susanna" by stephen foster)

all the years i've typed with qwerty so the keys won't jam & stick,
now hypertext and spelling-check are done by point-and-click...
oh information overload - we soon will surely burst!
how to scan the internet?  just don't print it first...

pencil-vania, won't you employ me?
for i'm back from california with a laptop on my knee...

trying to make a digital movie, virtual-memory set too high,
got so many hard-drives, i can almost touch the sky!
i long and wait for cd-ram so i can shine my light,
but hollywood and new york don't trust in copyright...

pencil-vania, won't you employ me?
for i'm back from california with a laptop on my knee...
