Under Euty  
Bah, bah, bah, bah,  
Bah, bah, bah, bah  
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah

Euty, posting down on me  
Posting down on you, no lyrics for  
Mister Euty  
He burns a forum down  
Splits Dopers in two  
Puts people on streets  
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah  
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah  
That’s o-kay  
It’s the terror of knowing  
What this forum is about  
Watching Euty cut some lyrics out  
Tomorrow post them higher  
Euty edits people, people on streets  
Doh doh doh bah bah bah bah  
O-kay  
Clipping around, kick my lyrics 'round the floor  
These are the days you buy lyrics at the store  
People on streets, people on streets  
Eda di dah di dah di dah di dah  
It’s the terror of knowing  
What this forum is about  
Watching Euty cut some lyrics out  
Tomorrow post them higher  
Edit all people, people on streets  
Euty turned away from it all, like a blind man  
Sat on a fence but it don’t work  
Keep posting up the lyrics  
But they’re slashed and torn  
Why why whyyyyy?  
Eutychus laughs, under pressure we’re cracking  
Can’t we give ourselves one more post  
Why can’t we give lyrics just one more post  
Why can’t we give lyrics, give lyrics, give lyrics, give lyrics, give lyrics  
Cause lyrics have to be  
In the public domain  
But they’re all from Nineteen oh seven  
And damn if I know any songs that date  
From Nineteen oh seven  
This is our last chance  
This is our last chance  
This is ourselves  
Posting Lyrics  
Posting Lyrics

I am fully aware that Eutychus is only doing his job and that in reality he probably couldn’t give a crap whether we post lyrics or the entire Chronicles of Narnia Expanded Edition.

But I just…can’t…stop…

99 Edited Posts

You and I in a little chat box  
Post a bunch of lyrics from the web site we’ve got  
Euty’s up at the break of dawn  
‘Til one by one, they were gone  
Back at base, bugs in the software  
Flash the message, “Lyrics out there”  
Floating in Cafe’ Socie  
99 edited posts go by

99 brand new posts  
Floating in the Cafe socie  
Panic bells, it’s red alert  
There’s something here from somewhere else  
The Euty machine springs to life  
Opens up one eager eye  
Focusing on Cafe Socie  
Where 99 brand new posts go by

99 Straight Dope Street, 99 moderators meet  
To worry, worry, super-scurry  
Call Eutychus out in a hurry  
This is what we’ve waited for  
Those are lyrics, this is war  
The legal aid is on the line  
As 99 brand new posts go by

99 knights of the web  
With super-high-tech computers  
Everyone’s a Billy Gates  
Eutychus is Captain Kirk  
With orders to identify  
To clarify and classify  
Lyrics in Cafe’ Socie  
As 99 brand new posts go by.

99 posts I have had  
In every one a lyrical tune  
It’s all over and I’m standin’ pretty  
Euty don’t deserve this please take pity  
If I could find a souvenier  
Just to prove the forum was here. . .  
And here is a brand new post  
Euty checks and lets it go. . . . .

Once there was this kid who  
Thought that posting W\*peout would get him banned from using  
The Cafe’ Society forum But **Euty**  
Had more to worry about  
So **Already in Use**  
Escaped **Euty’s** wrath by a whisker

MMM MMM MMM MMM  
MMM MMM MMM MMM

Once there was this girl who  
Posted up some lyrics from a song that she knew  
But when **Eutychus** saw it  
He clipped and posted up big warning  
She couldn’t quite explain it  
**LolaCocaCola** just posted there . . . .

MMM MMM MMM MMM  
MMM MMM MMM MMM

But both girl and boy were glad  
'Cause one Doper had it worse than that

'Cause then there was this Mod who’s  
Life was driven straight to hell by **Welby1**  
And when **Euty** read the lyric posts  
He shook and lurched all over the keyboard  
He couldn’t quite explain it  
The songs were just sooooooo baaaaad

MMM MMM MMM MMM  
MMM MMM MMM MMM

I’m Still Posting

You could never know what it’s like  
To post a bunch of lyrics up every night  
Then Eutychus comes and takes them from you  
Then posts up a big old warning telling what you can do

And did you think this fool could never win  
Well look at me, I’m posting lyrics again  
I got have a talent I express in a simple way  
And if you don’t know why I do it well that’s okay

Don’t you know I’m still posting better than I ever did  
Lyrics are for true survivors, snippets are for little kids  
I’m still standing after all this time  
Posting up these stupid songs to drive Eutychus out of his mind

I’m still posting yeah yeah yeah  
I’m still posting yeah yeah yeah

Once I could never hope to win  
Euty warned us not to post lyrics again  
If you do he will take them down  
And when he does he will laugh like an evil clown  
But don’t you know I’m still posting better than I ever did  
Lyrics are for true survivors, snippets are for little kids  
I’m still standing after all this time  
Posting up these stupid songs to drive Eutychus out of his mind

I’m still posting yeah yeah yeah  
I’m still posting yeah yeah yeah

Euty browses Cafe Society,  
With his mouse pulled way down low  
Looking for Dopers posting lyrics sheets,  
Delete button ready to go

Are you ready, are you ready for this?  
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?  
Down in the forum Euty deletes  
To the sound of the beat

Another post bites the dust  
Another post bites the dust  
And another post gone, and another post gone  
Another post bites the dust  
Hey, he’ll delete you too  
Another post bites the dust

How do you think I’m going to get along,  
Without posting lyrics to songs  
You edited every post that I had,  
And then brought the forum down

Are you happy, are you satisfied?  
How long can you stand the heat?  
In Cafe Society Euty deletes  
To the sound of the beat

Another post bites the dust  
Another post bites the dust  
And another post gone, and another post gone  
Another post bites the dust  
Hey, he’ll delete you too  
Another post bites the dust

Another post bites the dust  
Another post bites the dust  
Another post bites the dust  
Another post bites the dust

There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man,  
And bring him to the ground  
You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can edit him down  
Even when the board is down

But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you  
I’m standing on my own two feet  
In the forum my new posts rip  
Repeating to the sound of the beat

Another post bites the dust  
Another post bites the dust  
And another post gone, and another post gone  
Another post bites the dust  
Hey, he’ll delete you too

Another post bites the dust  
Shoot Out!

(Not really sung to any existant song)

Hey!  
You know what they say.  
Lyrics are bad but parodies are okay.

It’s true.  
That’s how it goes.  
Just check the result of _Campbell vs. Acuff-Rose_.

How are Deaf people supposed to know what a song is, if one cannot post lyrics? There should

Dopers Just Want To Have Fun

I post lyrics in the morning light  
Eutychus says when you gonna live your life right  
Oh Euty dear we’re not the fortunate ones  
And Dopers, they want to have fun  
Oh Dopers just want to have fun

I post a song in the middle of the night  
And Euty yells what you gonna do with your life  
Oh Euty dear you know your still number one  
But Dopers they want to have fun  
Oh Dopers just want to have–

Thats all they really want  
Some fun  
When the working day is done  
Dopers–they want to have fun  
Oh Dopers just want to have fun

Some Mods take a beautiful post  
And hide her away from the rest of the world  
I want to be the one to Post in the sun  
Oh Dopers they want to have fun  
Oh Dopers just want to have

Thats all they really want  
Some fun  
When the working day is done  
Dopers–they want to have fun

Oh Dopers just want to have fun  
They want to have fun,  
They want to have fun…

Some times it’s hard to be a Doper  
Givin’ all your time to just one mod  
You’ll have bad posts and he’ll have good posts,  
Sayin’ things that you don’t understand

But when you’re postin’, you’ll forgive him  
Even though he’s hard to understand  
And when you read him, aww, be proud of him  
Cuz after all he’s just a mod

Stand by your mod, give him two words to cling to  
And somethin’ warm to come to when nights are long and lonely  
Stand by your mod and show the Board you love him  
Keep givin’ all the love you can  
Stand by your mod

Stand by your mod and show the Board you love him  
Keep givin’ all the love you can  
Stand by your mo-o-d

Dopers ain’t easy to love and they’re harder to hold.  
They’d rather give you a song lyric than diamonds or gold.  
High speed computers and old faded mousepads,  
And each night begins a new day.  
If you don’t understand them, an’ they don’t die young,  
They’ll prob’ly just post away.

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Dopers.  
Don’t let 'em post lyrics to bug **Eutychus.**  
It ain’t like they’re copyright lawyers or such.  
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be Dopers.  
'Cos they’ll always stay home and bitch and moan.  
After being edited by **Eutychus.**

**Euty** hates lyrics without links and copyright violations,  
**Euty** hates Dopers who post in the dark of night.  
Them that don’t know him won’t like him and them that do,  
Sometimes won’t know how to take him.  
He ain’t wrong, he’s just different  
But his pride won’t let him,  
Do things to make you think he’s right.

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be Dopers.  
Don’t let 'em post lyrics to bug **Eutychus.**  
It ain’t like they’re copyright lawyers or such.  
Mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be Dopers.

You work for Straight Dope  
you edit my posts,  
cutting out the lyrics when I’m gone.  
You can tell your friends  
just what a fool I’ve been,  
and laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell the forum:  
Welby is a moron!  
You can tell Detop “Don’t post no more.”  
You can tell the Mods  
It’s okay to feel like gods,  
You can edit posts by the score.

But don’t cull my post,  
My silly little post,  
I just don’t think you understand.  
'Cause if you cull my post,  
My silly little post,  
I might blow up and kill you, man.

You can tell MachV,  
This forum’s still alive,  
You can tell Capacitor “Hi Opal.”  
You can tell Handy,  
Post for the deaf are dandy,  
He ought to give his congressman a call.

Or tell good old Uncle Cec,  
tell anything you please,  
myself already knows I’m not O.K.  
Or you can tell my eyes  
to watch out for my mind,  
it might be walkin’ out on me one day.

But don’t cull my post,  
My silly little post,  
I just don’t think you understand.  
'Cause if you cull my post,  
My silly little post,  
I might blow up and kill you, man.

**"Don’t cull my post" portion of this song may or may not be copyright DETOP 2002**
