(...sung to the tune of Grandma Got Run Over by a Raindeer...)
Monty got run over by a scanner, walking down to Lab-D Saturday night. You can say there's no such law as Murphy's, but as for me and Monty we see the light.
He'd been working too much O.T., and we begged him not to go. But he had to finish the testing, so he staggered down the hall to run the show. Well we found him the next morning and we couldn't believe it all. He was pointing with amazement, at the spot where the record-amps hit the wall.
Monty got run over by a scanner, walking down to Lab-D Saturday night. You can say there's no such law as Murphy's, but as for me and Monty we see the light.
It's no fun without disaster, while the customer's right there. There is no sound quite as awful, as the sound of six heads flying through the air. Now our customer and bosses, are all standing there in black. And they just can't help but wonder, should they sign the unit off or send it back.
Monty got run over by a scanner, walking down to Lab-D Saturday night. You can say there's no such law as Murphy's, but as for me and Monty we see the light.
Now we're all so proud of Monty, 'Cause he handled it so well. If not for self-destructing scanners, who knows how many of these things we could sell. There's no Christmas break for Monty, he'll be fixing the T.U. They should never build a scanner, with double-sided tape and crazy glue.
Monty got run over by a scanner, walking down to Lab-D Saturday night. You can say there's no such law as Murphy's, but as for me and Monty we see the light.
