The Ultra-Blue Blues

I woke up this mornin', my head was spinnin' 'round.
And all in my ears I heard that 1X scanner sound.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues... too many EU's and TU's.
No matter how hard I try, just can't lose those Ultra-Blues.
The scanners givin' us grief, we all got disbelief.
The only thing we don't get - is some schedule relief.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
When the 400 scanner crashed, it sure didn't make us proud.
The only difference now is it'll be eight times as loud.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
In case you haven't heard, we all just got the word.
It'll all be over soon - on August 23rd.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
We started at 400, now we're up to thirty-two.
If you wanna go a little faster - just add on another TU.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
The software's got some bugs, of this there is no doubt.
When you press EJECT on this one - on that one the tape pops out.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
The software's got some problems, I swear it must be cursed.
When you tell one to go FAST FORWARD - the other seven take off in reverse.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
When I come into work each mornin', it's like the coffin gets another nail.
The only thing to do is put my head on the post and wail.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
We ask for money, they said "No". We ask to de-scope, they said "No".
We ask for support - and the made Mooky PMO.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
We can record very swiftly. We can playback really nifty.
The only thing we can't do - is sign off on the DD-250.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
After workin' seven long years, we finally shipped one off to Jack.
He opened the crate, popped in a tape, then it broke so he shipped it right back.
I got the Ultra-Blue Blues...
