Virus Alert Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey everyone, listen up, your attention if you please
Really wanna give you a warning 'cause I found out this morning
'Bout a dangerous, insidious computer virus
If you should get an e-mail with the subject "Stinky Cheese"
Better not go taking your chances
Under no circumstances should you open it or else it will
Translate your documents into Swahili
Make your TV record Gigli
Neuter your pets and give your laundry static cling

[Pre-Chorus]
Look out! It's gonna make your computer screen freeze
Look out! Erase the Easter eggs off your DVDs
Look out! Erase your hard drive and your backups too
And the hard drive of anyone related to you

[Chorus]
Virus alert! Delete immediately before someone gets hurt
Forward this message on to everybody

[Verse 2]
Soon, very soon, it will make all the paint peel off your walls
It'll make your keyboard all sticky, give your poodle a hickey
And invest your cash in stock in Euro Disney
Then, it will tie up your phone, making prank long-distance calls
It'll set your clocks back an hour and start clogging the shower
So just trash it now, or else it will
Decide to give you a permanent wedgie
Legally change your name to Reggie
Even mess up the pH balance in your pool

[Pre-Chorus]
Look out! It's gonna melt your face right off your skull
Look out! And make your iPod only play Jethro Tull
Look out! And tell you knock-knock jokes while you're trying to sleep
Look out! And make you physically attracted to sheep
Look out! Steal your identity and your credit card
Look out! Buy you a warehouse full of pink leotards
Look out! Then cause a major rift in time and space
And leave a bunch of Twinkie wrappers all over the place
That's right, it's a

[Chorus]
Virus alert! Delete immediately before someone gets hurt
Forward this message on to everybody
Virus alert! Delete immediately before someone gets hurt
Forward this message on to everybody
Warn all your friends, send this to everybody
Tell everyone you know, tell everybody now

[Bridge]
If you get infected, you'll wish you had never been born
So before it emails your grandmother all of your porn
Turn off your computer and make sure it powers down
Drop it in a 43-foot hole in the ground
Bury it completely, rocks and boulders should be fine
Then burn all the clothes you may have worn any time you were online

[Chorus]
Virus alert! Delete immediately before someone gets hurt
Forward this message on to everybody
Virus alert! Delete immediately before someone gets hurt
Forward this message on to everybody
Virus alert! Delete immediately before someone gets hurt
Forward this message on to everybody
Warn all your friends, send this to everybody
Tell everyone you know, tell everybody now

[Outro]
What are you waiting for?
Just hurry up and forward this to every single person that you know!
Hit "Send" right now!
