Chorus:
   We didn't start the vaxing,
      but we keep on sending
      is it never ending?
   We didn't start the vaxing,
      and perhaps it's sickening
      'cause it's so addicting.

Chorus:
   We didn't start the vaxing,
   but we keep on sending
   is it never ending?
   We didn't start the vaxing,
      but if we log on
      will we still stay on and on and on and on...

This is a somewhat rushed attempt at this parody -
Please excuse the mangled meter and please please forgive the omissions.
And thanks for many wonderful years...
Turlough.
