The High-Speed Connection
Why are there so many noises my modem makes when I am going on line
The net is intriguing, but always eludes me,
I always get bumped offline
I have been told but refuse to believe it
That dial-up’s the best thing for me
Someday I’ll get it, the high-speed connection, the laptop, the modem, and me.
Who said that 56k was the absolute limit
For transmission across a phone line
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it,
And some think this may be fine
What’s so beguiling that keeps us redialing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday I’ll get it, the high-speed connection
The laptop, the modem, and me.
All of us phoning at once
The collision is going to be tragic...
When it is late at night, and you’re downloading
Have you been kicked offline
By some bloody moron who’s got the wrong number?
The rage is so hard to confine
I’ve been there too many times to ignore it
And someday then I’ll fin’lly see
Someday I’ll get it, the high-speed connection
The laptop, the modem, and me.
Please a T-3 line for me, oh....
La laa la la laa dee daa doo...
