The Lyrics
I don't know what it is that made my PC die
I only know it makes me really want to cry
It's called 'Klez' or something
What can it be?
Ever since that email it's infected me
Now my PC's kaputt
I only want the thing to boot
Not only is a virus there called Lissajou
I think I've picked up Nimda and Melissa, too
McAfee is helpless, it's been a while
I never could download that anti-virus file
Though chances are minute
I only want the thing to boot
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\Software\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Ten viruses - I'm stuffed!
Do they want money?
I just want my PC back to work again
This constant virus-cleaning is a total pain
Restarted Windows
In DOS - what a feat
Just so I could get this bloody file to delete
A three-fingered salute
I only want the thing to boot
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Ten viruses - I'm stuffed!
It isn't funny!
In Outlook email viruses are everywhere
As long as I keep using Outlook, best beware
I even found something
The "Slapper" worm
According to McAfee that's a Linux germ
My PC must be screwed
I only want the thing to boot
Oh no matter, I'll chuck it down the chute
I only, I only, I only, I only,
I only want the thing to boot
I only know it makes me really want to cry
It's called 'Klez' or something
What can it be?
Ever since that email it's infected me
Now my PC's kaputt
I only want the thing to boot
Not only is a virus there called Lissajou
I think I've picked up Nimda and Melissa, too
McAfee is helpless, it's been a while
I never could download that anti-virus file
Though chances are minute
I only want the thing to boot
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\Software\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Ten viruses - I'm stuffed!
Do they want money?
I just want my PC back to work again
This constant virus-cleaning is a total pain
Restarted Windows
In DOS - what a feat
Just so I could get this bloody file to delete
A three-fingered salute
I only want the thing to boot
In HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Ten viruses - I'm stuffed!
It isn't funny!
In Outlook email viruses are everywhere
As long as I keep using Outlook, best beware
I even found something
The "Slapper" worm
According to McAfee that's a Linux germ
My PC must be screwed
I only want the thing to boot
Oh no matter, I'll chuck it down the chute
I only, I only, I only, I only,
I only want the thing to boot

EXCELLENT Phil.Love this!! :-D
Phil, this is brilliant! Three 5's with a three-fingered-salute (Ctrl-Alt-Del) !
Love this song! I think the "registry verses" are especially creative! :-D
I feel your pain. This whole thing could be a marketing ploy for Vista, but I think you've got that covered pretty good. 555
