Lazin’ in the shade of the information superhighway
Dozin’ in the glade here beside the fiber-optic byway
Corned beef in the can, White House on the wire
Throw another analog on the fire
I’m lazin’ in the shade of the information superhighway
Been a chilly winter huddled up beside my printer
But this morning boys, I been to Rio on my modem line
I used to take a nap an’ say that nothin’ much was happenin’
But now I’m learnin’ Japanese and how to choose a good wine
And when I’m feelin’ low
I’ll access the vice president and tell him so
I’m lazin’ in the shade of the information superhighway
Let’s see, Channel 436 - America’s Funniest Home Surgery Videos. 437 - Afterlifestyles of the Dead and Famous. 438 - Dobie Gilligan, the All Bob Denver Network. 439 - Censorship Channel - nothin’ on.
Drag my internet through the data stream
Carryin’ a metaphor what might seem a bit too far
I’m lazin’ in the shade of the information superhighway
Found myself a female who could make me glad to be male
So I whispered in her email, “Honey, won’t you megabite mine?”
But now my elocution’s gotten into distribution
And some guy in the Aleutian Islands wants to know my sign
And when I hear that final knell
I’ll fax my working organs to Joycelyn Elders
I’m easin’ down the grade
And may I say, not in a shy way
I’m lazin’ in the shade of the information superhighway
Dozin’ in the glade here beside the fiber-optic byway
Corned beef in the can, White House on the wire
Throw another analog on the fire
I’m lazin’ in the shade of the information superhighway
Been a chilly winter huddled up beside my printer
But this morning boys, I been to Rio on my modem line
I used to take a nap an’ say that nothin’ much was happenin’
But now I’m learnin’ Japanese and how to choose a good wine
And when I’m feelin’ low
