I Lost It with the Tape Drive v1.0 (Lyrics)

From the realms of SYS$HUMOR, Lyrics mutated by Alan E. Feldman &-)

To the tune of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine":

Ooh, I bet you're wonderin' how I knew
'Bout your plans to make me blue
With the tape I trusted to your clutch
You know that data, I needed much
It took me by surprise I must say
When I heard it grind away
Don't you know that I

Knew it was the tape drive
Not much longer would it be alive
Oh, I knew it was the tape drive
Now I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey, yeah
(Knew it was the tape drive
Not much longer would I have my data, ooh, ooh, ooh)

I know a man ain't supposed to cry
But these tears I cannot hold inside
Losin' you would end my job you see
'Cause that data, my boss he needs
You could have told me just as much
that my data you were 'bout to scrunch

Instead I lost it in the tape drive
not much longer would it be alive
Oh yeah, I lost it with the tape drive
And I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey, yeah
(Lost it in the tape drive
Not much longer would I have my data, ooh, ooh, ooh)

<brief instrumental interlude>

People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear
But I can't help being confused
If my data's gone, please tell me dear
Do you really want to do this to me
After all the cleaning tapes I fed to thee?

Don't you know I
Lost it with the tape drive
Not much longer would it be alive
Baby, I lost it in the tape drive
Ooh I'm just about to lose my mind
Honey honey, yeah
(Heard it in the tape drive
Not much longer would I have my data, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Honey, honey I knew
That my data is through
'Said I lost it with the tape drive

Repeat and fade

Lost it with the tape drive
