Y2K, BRING IT ON (you don't scare me none) © By Becky They call it Y2K, means year two thousand will come soon They run around with fear on faces filled with such gloom I just laugh and can't figure out why there's so much fear It will just be the beginning of another boring new year OK there's a chance that the lights might not work But that is fine, I was never one of the ones to shirk Cause when it came to living the long ago simple life It's right down my ally, when there was not much strife I am so prepared for this thing called the Y2K That I actually look forward to the new day To watch all the nuts running from pillar to post Wonder which problem, I will like enjoying most Will it be when the power actually shuts down I have a generator and I'll handle it I'll be bound How about the water when it finally slows to a drip And I got a well for whenever I want to wet my lip I have a green tractor filled with plenty of fuel I guess I don't have to count on that old mule I'll plant me a nice garden with good things to eat Then I'll just sit on the porch and put up my feet At night I have oil lamps which will give me light It's amazing how those lamps can make it so bright To sit with a book that I have been wanting read But television has been there to put off the need Simple things have been shuffled off to the side I do not say these things with very much pride To work on a puzzle with my children at night With a fire in the stove what a wonderful sight When I was a small child I had nothing I do now Times sure have changed and oh my! and oh Wow! We used to catch a ride into town when I was small Maybe once a month, back then there was no mall We'd buy a sack of flour maybe a pound of salt A little coffee and sugar, round it off with a malt At the local dime store a soda fountain it had Oh, what a treat that was and it's really quite sad Though not really the good old days all seem to spout But it was a time of innocence let there be no doubt You trusted your neighbors your friends with your life Now the days are filled with stress and more strife So what is the power fails for a few hours or days And we have to do for ourselves, there are ways To enjoy ourselves while we wait, then it's gone It won't matter to me so much Y2K, bring it on Belljoye
