Macintosh Town
by
Bob Kanefsky
Parody of "Nottimun Town" (Traditional)
In Macintosh town, in Macintosh town,
Not a thing to look up, not a thing to write down,
Not a thing to look up, not a thing to write down,
In my explorations of Macintosh town.
I had a small pet. 'Twas called a gray mouse.
No feet and no fur and a tail long and black.
No feet and no fur and a tail long and black.
With it held in my hand, it was easy to track.
It rolled to and fro, as it jumped up and down,
Ran right through a window but made not a sound.
I sent my mouse down to throw garbage away
In the can that I empty ten times every day.
I had me a long short story to write,
With no pen in my hand and no paper in sight.
With no pen in my hand and no paper in sight.
I wrote thiry pages in less than a night.
Deciding to talk, I unplugged my phone.
I talked to ten friends as I sat there alone.
I took back some words that I knew I'd regret.
I have ten good friends that I never have met.
In Macintosh town, in Macintosh town,
Not a thing to look up, not a thing to write down.
Not a thing to look up, not a thing to write down,
In my explorations of Macintosh town.
