Do It Yourself
I went to buy computers, they said a million bucks For a brand new mainframe IBM, now that price really sucks. So I looked at all the pictures, and I chose to build my own, For you can build a mainframe from the things you find at home.
refrain: Oh, IBM, DEC, and Honeywell, HP, DG and Wang, Amdahl, NEC, and NCR, they don't know anything. They make big bucks for systems, though they never want it known That you can build a mainframe from the things you find at home.
Well, take the CPU, you see it's only just a box With blinking lights and whirring fans and lots of cable slots. Well, I spent an evening working with some wire and bulbs and pins, Then I hauled them to the basement and I plugged the freezer in.
refrain
Well, next I needed tape drives, my tape drives were a steal. I climbed into the attic for my dad's old reel-to-reel. Some cable and some binder twine, and soon it was complete: My CPU and tape drive at a price no one can beat.

Well, then I looked for disk drives, but it didn't take me long. Function follows form, they say, or have I got that wrong? Well, I found a drive with five new modes that blow the rest away: Cottons, linens, wash and wear, rinse and lingerie.
refrain
Well, I had to have a console just to make my system run. Without a fancy console then my system wasn't done. So, I tied a ten-buck typer to a broken TV tube, And now I've got a console that can write the evening news.
refrain
Well, I've had my system running - I'll admit it's not the best. The data isn't right, and the response time is a mess. It crashes every hour, and it isn't worth a damn, But I'm satisfied because it runs just like an IBM!
