SDMB Rap
No one can tell you what to do
But I do have one thought for you
Check out the board known as Straight Dope
Instead of in you house to mope
You’ll find all manner of people here
Some are real jerks, most are sincere
You read the posts and realize
information grows before your eyes
Just tell me what your mind has in it
There is no prize, don’t try to win it
Grab for the reins, it’s quite a ride
I’ll see you on the other side
(here’s where you make that sound with your lips pursed together, blowing out spurts of air:
bprfff, p-pfff, bprfff, p-pfff)
You talk about variety
There’s so much here for you to see
There’s Mundane Posters, Great Debaters,
Opinion Givers, America Haters
Republicans and Democrats,
Some Dirty Poets, Some Dirty Rats
No Matter what your style or faith
You can make friends, you can relate
Take one big leap, find out yourself
Just post a poem, or ask for help
Report a fact, or take a poll
Don’t let no one define your roll
Relax and read through mindless flirts
Tell all the girls you’ll raise their skirts
Or take a stance on doing speed
Or who can smoke what kind of weed
Discuss the Bible with the teacher
Or meet someone and try to reach her
(bprfff, p-pfff, bprfff, p-pfff)
You say you want some politics
Again enjoy the many picks
Take sides or just take a back seat
The arguments just can’t be beat
If you don’t like the tone you hear
There is a remedy, don’t fear
You tell that MFA to git
And bring their ass into the Pit
And now there ain’t no holding back
You give 'em hell, son, you attack
Make sure you finish off the slime
Don’t let 'em back another time
(bprfff, p-pfff, bprfff, p-pfff)
So now you got it, it’s Straight Dope
You understand the word I hope
Don’t hesitate for one more minute
Take the leap, sign up, get in it
Start posting what is on your mind
You’ll catch the fever given time
You’ll be the new man of the hour
Remember this - Knowledge is Power
