The Millennium came and nearly went
Before we had a president
We laughed at predictions of the Devil’s tricks
Then it all came down like a ton of bricks
We renewed our prescriptions to handle the stress
Of Florida’s ballots and the ensuing mess
Reno said that Elian couldn’t stay
Hey! What’s with Florida anyway?
We survived Survival, Big Bro, Millionaire
Many went down with Alaska Air
We pushed one, we pushed two, it made us cuss
When a voice said “your call is important to us.”
Skin was in at the Academy Awards
Some watched the Olympics, some were plain bored!
The economy was good, we went off the dole
Dastardly terrorists bombed the Cole
As gas prices went up, SUV sales got bigger
The Stock Market was up, now it’s bombed; so go figger!
Harry Potter was ” the book”
The hackers, still at it
The Israelis and Arabs had just about had it.
We were warned of the dangers of the cellular phone
The Rams beat the Titans, Schwarzenegger, his clone
Woods beat himself and sold more shoes
Firestone is singing the Class Action blues.
The Generic code got broke, the Supreme Court spoke
But things change as the pendulum swings
So take heart, it’s not over ’til the fat lady sings
