NOT SPAM BIG
(To the tune of "Not Man Big," from the Kansas album
Somewhere
to Elsewhere)
Somebody said that the story's true, but excuse me
Somebody said that he found the truth in his inbox
Friend of a friend says he knows for sure, but don't confuse me
Who's gonna prove that the story's true? E-mail hoax...
Not spam big (not spam big!); fabrication
Not spam true; it's a willful hoax without an ounce of proof
Not spam said (not spam said!); thought contagion
Not spam made; from address to address, it's a "pass it on" scheme
"'Klingerman Virus' is on the streets"; ain't no danger
"A.I.D.S. needles in the theater seats," but no reports
"How dare the government tax e-mail?" (hah!) There's no proposal
"Kidney thieves out with a big ice pail"; get a grip
Not spam big (not spam big!); urban legend
Not spam true (not spam true!); it's a willful hoax to fool the likes
of you
Not spam said (not spam said!); 'Net congestion
Not spam made; from address to address, it's a "pass it on" scheme
One look around, you can see it clear: there's too much junk mail
One look around, there's no need to fear; it's all a lie
Chain letters sent a million times, but that don't mean nothin'
Who's gonna prove that the story's true? E-mail hoax...
E-mail hoax...
Not spam big...
