It was 30 years ago today, Could of been in June, or maybe May. When a programmer at IBM, Dropped the numbers and created meme.

'It was done because we needed space, didn't mean to wipe the human race!' Who would have thunk it way back then, Dropped the numbers and created meme.

So let me give you all a scoop, (you better like tomato soup) Y2K is just around the cooornnnerr!!

What would you say if I ran out of beans Would you turn round and walk out on me? Lend me a beer and I'll give you some jam, And we'll play you some monopoly, cause

I get by with a little preps from my friends, Yeah I get high with a little preps from my friends, Gonna die without preps from my friends..

When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never, ever, ever, ever heard of Y2K

Now, and though the day draws near I'm not so self-assured, So now I find, for peace of mind, I've bolted down the door.
