The Lyrics
Todays submissions are two songs with but a single idea... the other one is "Where have all my files gone?"
There's a hole in my data, dear Techie, dear Techie
There's a hole in my data, dear Techie - a hole
Then mend it, dear User, dear User, dear User
Then mend it, dear User, dear User - mend it
But how shall I mend it, dear Techie, dear Techie
But how shall I mend it, dear Techie - but how?
Just restore it from backup, dear User, dear User
Just restore it from backup, dear User - restore
But where is the backup, dear Techie, dear Techie
But where is the backup, dear Techie - but where?
In the fire safe, dear User, dear User, dear User
In the fire safe, dear User, dear User - fire safe
But what is the number, dear Techie, dear Techie
But what is the number, dear Techie - it's what?
It's in the System, dear User, dear User, dear User
In the System, dear User, dear User - system
But where in the system, dear Techie, dear Techie
But where in the system, dear Techie - but where?
In the database, dear User, dear User, dear User
In the database, dear User, dear User - database
But there's a hole in my data, dear Techie
...
There's a hole in my data, dear Techie - a hole
Then mend it, dear User, dear User, dear User
Then mend it, dear User, dear User - mend it
But how shall I mend it, dear Techie, dear Techie
But how shall I mend it, dear Techie - but how?
Just restore it from backup, dear User, dear User
Just restore it from backup, dear User - restore
But where is the backup, dear Techie, dear Techie
But where is the backup, dear Techie - but where?
In the fire safe, dear User, dear User, dear User
In the fire safe, dear User, dear User - fire safe
But what is the number, dear Techie, dear Techie
But what is the number, dear Techie - it's what?
It's in the System, dear User, dear User, dear User
In the System, dear User, dear User - system
But where in the system, dear Techie, dear Techie
But where in the system, dear Techie - but where?
In the database, dear User, dear User, dear User
In the database, dear User, dear User - database
But there's a hole in my data, dear Techie

Hehehehe....funny one! I was just waiting for you to get back to the hole in the data!
This one ain't goin' into the bit-bucket! 5's
This parody does not need mending. Well done, Phil.
HA HA HA! Laugh out loud! and 5-5-5
555! Well-o done-o Philbo!
Hmm...maybe if I vote fives, no one will know this is about me...
This is like management telling the Exchange Admin to send out an email message telling the users that their email is down. One Dbase ver 5.0, One Oracle ver 5.0 and one MSAccess ver 5.0.
C'mon, Junior. Say "Da Da" . . . "Data" . . . He's YOUR kid, Muriel! Very well done Phil. Happy Macnam.
:-) Guy, I'm sure that's been asked for on more than one occasion... dBase 5.0, eh? You're showing your age, here...
Having come up with the circular idea for restoring from backup, I couldn't decide which one to write, this or the "Where have all the flowers gone" parody... so I did both. Thanks for the kind words, everybody.

Know how you feel Phil.....
Yikes, was going to do the familiar "Hole" for a church talent show, but think this one is better. Will sure get more laughs!! Thanks!
:-) Please drop back to let me know how it went, Marj
My favourite song, but maybe not Elisa's. :?) Georgie
Umm, well how can I put this, it didn't really make much sense. I thought some parts were too long, and when I started to sing it I had to rush words in. Thumbs down. Sorry
