I Wanna Be a Webmaster

Some of the numbers are a bit dated, but it's amazing how little has changed in the last 10 years. That should be www.mydotsite.net, by the way.

Lyrics [pdf] [txt] [cho]

	C	G	C	G	F
	Oh give me	a	home page	where	web browsers roam

	C	F	C	G	C	G
	And	the	spiders and search	eng	ines	play

	C	G	C	G	F
	Where my words can	be	seen up	on	everyone's screen

	C	G	C	G	C
And I'll	be the Cool	Site	of	the	Day.

C F C G C F C

Oh I wanna be a web mast er, I wanna use HTT P

F* G C F C G C G

In the World Wide Web there'll be no one as wond erf ul as me

C* F C G C F C

My page will be the Cool Site of the day you just can bet

F C G C G C

At WW W-dot- myD otS ite-d ot-n et

	C	G	C	F	C
Well, I	found a site pro	vid	er and I	wrote HTM	L

	C	C*	F	G
And I	made a thousand	links to sites that	I can't even	spell.

	C	F	C	F	C	G	C
With a	CGI hit	count	er that has	four	whole	lines	of code,

	C	F	F	G	C	G	C
And a	three-D rendered	background that takes	half	an	hour	to	load.

refrain -- the week

Well I bought myself a Macintosh and Windows 95

Page Mill and Netscape Server and a 4.2-Gig drive;

My programs all have objects and my processors have RISCs

And my software's backed up on about five hundred floppy disks.

refrain -- the month

Now I have a Cisco router and a satellite link dish

And a realtime Ricoh camera taking pictures of my fish

And an RC autogyro I'll be taking for a whirl

Just as soon as I can figure out how to program it in PERL.

refrain -- the year

I'll be raking in the Digicash and Cyberbucks galore

When a World Wide Web of customers comes browsing to my door

I'll sell them cups of Java and instant iced N-T

In recycled plastic mugs that have a photograph of me.

refrain -- all time

Oh give me a home where the web browsers roam

I'll be staking my cyberspace claim

To a place in the sun for fast money and fun

And my own 15 minutes of fame.
