Peter, Paul and Mary — Virtual Party See_You@Party.Net

It's 11 o'clock in the evening I'm barefoot and I'm logged-on to the internet I usually pickup my e-mail in the afternoon But on weekends sometimes I forget... I yell down the hall to the bedroom: "Honey, I'll be right there!" She says, "That's ok, dear I got a brand new book here And I'm not going anywhere" The funny thing 'bout a couple When a couple of years've gone by You don't talk; you think you know each other so well You don't have to try You take for granted what you used to call enchanted Just a while ago When does a mystery turn into history? I don't know Anyway, I got another meg of data Coming down the line A Wall Street profile spreadsheet From a friend of mine Up on the screen pops a little green box says "click on me" Somewhere I swear Alice in Wonderland's callin'! I look up at the clock Not as late as I thought: only quarter to one The download's finished I could take five minutes and have me some fun The invitation's From a web location In Hong Kong It's already started This virtual party runs all night long! I say all night! Wah-wah-way-oh We're invited to a virtual party tonight... (You try it!) Wah-wah-way-oh You're invited to a virtual party tonight There's computers in the microwave Computers in the automobile Computers in the phone Oh and even my wife Who used to tell me to get a life Has got a computer of her own I spend so much time saving time I can't find any time to spend I've taped sixteen episodes of "Star Trek" But when am I gonna show them?! It's un-believable Must be sixty, seventy people here at the party site Icons, avatars, images of movie stars surfing tonight Well I'm looking for a chat When I get a note that Says "Ya wanna go... To a place more private? I kinda think you'll like it..." I say "I...yi..." She says her name is "Mata Hari" And that she's particularly Fond of older men Well maybe so, maybe not Maybe she's a guy that's got This urge to pretend And then it occurs to me I don't need this fantasy, after all Everything I'd be looking for I've got and even more Sleeping at the end of the hall! I shut down the box Still it's three o'clock By the time I get to bed I lift up the covers Snuggle next to my lover Find a note there instead It says "The book was dumb, logged on Found a message from Hong Kong... For a virtual party I'm goin' as Mata Hari May be all night long" I say all night? Wah-wah-way-oh You're invited to a virtual party tonight (What did you say now?) Wah-wah-way-oh You're invited to a virtual party tonight (One more time now) Wah-wah-way-oh You're invited to a virtual party tonight Ready or not here comes the 21st century You're invited to a virtual party tonight
