I got my floppy in my
hand and I'm ready to go
It's a five and a quarter
but I want you to know
When you put it in your
drive and see the A prompt glow
That five and a quarter
floppy gonna stiffen and grow
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
I use a surge protector
so you know there ain't no risk
Don't you worry 'bout
a virus 'cause I checked it last week
Ain't no problem with
the program, baby, just take a peek
got some ramdisk action
that you will enjoy
Let's get back down to
BASIC, let me be your input boy
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
I use a surge protector
so you know there ain't no risk
You've got some data that
I'd like to enter today
Now you can throw all
your old processors away
I can crunch your numbers
'til Pi is complete
And wait'll you see what
I can do with your spreadsheet
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
I use a surge protector
so you know there ain't no risk
I can pack up your software,
unpack it too
I got a graphics routine
and it's made just for you
I can see your VGA; you
know what I'm gonna do
Is put some tension on
your pentium 'til the program is through
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
Baby won't you boot my
disk
I use a surge protector
so you know there ain't no risk
This song started out as a caustic parody. I'd learned that a major
blues label would no longer accept lyrics about trains, believing that
today's listeners couldn't identify with railroad imagery. I thought, "How
sad," and in typical LoveWhip fashion, wrote sarcastic, overly modern lyrics
and sent them to the head of that record company. Reading the lyrics over
later, I decided that they were pretty funny. Jake Horton, formerly of
the Blue Rhythm Club and currently guitarist and lead vocalist for the
Chesterfield Four, put the bounce in the song's tempo. Harp on this one
is by Doug Utton, also of the Chesterfields. I had originally intended
to replace his studio track or overdub a second harp line myself, but couldn't
think of any way to improve the song by doing so.
