TTTO: I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing
      by Backer / Davis / Cook / Greenaway

I like to furnish on-line help
For problems folks may face
But, putting failures into words,
Their logic gets misplaced.

I'd like to teach the world to ask
Its questions sensibly.
I'd like to hear those nouns and verbs
Used intelligently.

I'd like to see requests, for once,
Say more than "Something's trashed."
The error message now dismissed?
The steps that caused the crash?

(That's the hint I need)
I'd like to teach the world to ask
(Let the world think today)
Its questions sensibly.

I'd like to teach the world to ask
Its questions sensibly.

I like to furnish on-line help
For problems folks may face
But, putting failures into words,
Their logic gets misplaced.
