#1 Boot up the Laptop [Up on the Rooftop] G Boot up the laptop, awkward pause, While the Office logo draws. Hope that your slides will all project, Pray your connection won't disconnect. Ho ho ho What will you show, Ho ho ho Who can you snow, Boot up the laptop click click click This PowerPoint is really slick!

C As I walk down with a cup in hand, Do you see what I see? In the corner by the coffee can, Do you see what I see? A new machine, dispensing drinks for me, It will give us coffee and tea, And what's more, for now it is free! As I turn around in this tiny room, Do you hear what I hear? A harmony of electronic tunes, Do you hear what I hear? A microwave, hums while heating tortes, And the printer prints out reports, And somehow they share the same port! Said the stockroom boy to the Coffee Man, Do you smell what I smell? In between the sink and garbage can, Do you smell what I smell? I think the fridge needs cleaning once again, He said, "No, here try this my friend, It's the new mocha/toner blend!" Free coffee flows while the micro cooks, Do you know what I know? Weeks go by now everyone is hooked, Do you know what I know? They're charging now for freshly roasted ground, It is true, it's what I have found, It's just like drugs on the playground! #4 Walking in a Winter Wonderland F Parking rates, too outrageous For a State Worker's wages I'm out in the snow, it's twenty below Waiting for the Metro Bus to Come Spun-out cars, there's no shortage It's four hours up to Portage There's nothing to like for people who bike I'm waiting for the Metro Bus to Come At the bus stop, see the Empty Bus Lanes Know the bus is coming, don't know when. All the drivers heading out through Cross Plains... Wonder if they'll get to home by ten? As it snows, fenders bending But my bus wait is ending Tonight is a treat, march home on my feet, I don't think the Metro bus will come. #5 Hail/Farewell [Jingle Bells] C Dashing up the stairs, All the way to the roof. But nobody's there, Guess I made a goof. Bet they're down on 3rd, Making intros now, What fun it is to miss the words, But, get there for the chow! Oh! Hail/Farewell Hail/Farewell Someone's gone away But, somebody else has come, I'll just say "What the hey!" Hey! Hail/Farewell Hail/Farewell Someone's out the door, No big loss, it's just my boss, More room on my floor. #6 The First AERI [The First Noel] The first AERI, launched in SPECTRE they say, Sensed completely the atmosphere one November day So Hank and Fred and company Built and sent some more to the ARM S-G-P AERI, AERI, AERI, AERI, Born of the best minds of SSEC! Of it's usefulness, there can be no denial Now that Wayne and Ben examine profiles Clouds and aerosols and all trace gasses too There is nothing this pert little sensor won't do. AERI, AERI, AERI, AERI, Born of the best minds of SSEC! So now, there is inside the BAGO An AERI that travels the country by jove And when it arrived and is set up on station It's the most useful benchmark for validation. AERI, AERI, AERI, AERI, Born of the best minds of SSEC! #7 Good King Wenceslas Suzanne Wetzel sloshed around on the feast of Stephen. Watching all those trees chopped down green space is a leavn'. Animals will need to nest! Makes me brokenhearted. Stop the carnage, save the rest! Use a tree that's potted. Neighbor's house is all lit up. Glare is most inhuman. Our dark house is fading out. Give or take a lumen. Brightly shine the lights at night. Must be power greedy. Hey no way the power's slight. Now they're made with LEDs. What to do this Holiday, have no plans to protest. Tofu turkey on the way, sprouts and roots to ingest. Riding out in the snow, CO2 I exhale. Al Gore says it warms things up. Hold my breath I'm turning pale. #8 "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" Bb Have yourself a steaming cup of coffee. Cuz for now it's free. It's a trial for some new variety Nearby there, someone's making copies and the toner's low Oh my goodness, toner's leaking on the floor! Here we are cleaning up this mess. And it really stinks, what a chore. Burnt popcorn in the microwave, nothing new today, but now The fridge is stocked with tons of smelly lunches And it's full of mold Boss is ill, oh great I've caught a common cold! So I'll have myself a steaming cup of coffee now. #9 We Wish You a Merry Christmas We wish to see Dan DeSlover, We wish to see Pa-ul Menzel We wish to see Steven Dutcher, And, Bob Rabin too. The hotels and airlines love all of these guys, But for poor Marlene, we sympathize! We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Christmas, And a Happy New Year. We don't want to offend, anyone in this place So if we forgot you, don't leave in disgrace. We wish you a Merry Christmas, We wish you a Merry Solstice, We wish you a Snowy Season, And a Happy New Year.
