Don’t Wear the Beeper

tune: “Don’t Fear the Reaper” by Blue Oyster Cult
Em D Em
Working hours are done
Em D Em
Here the pages come
C D G
Surgeons all wear the beeper
C D Em
So do the staff and the nurses on call
D Em
Don’t become like they are
D Em D Em
Come on baby... Don't wear the beeper
D Em D Em
Baby come back to bed... Don't wear the beeper
D Em D Em
Let the server room fry... Don't wear the beeper
D Em
Baby don’t you dare...
System upgrade’s done
Here the pages come
My password needs to be reset
They keep repeating it eternally...
My password needs to be reset
40,000 messages everyday... Like my password needs to be reset
40,000 messages everyday... Reassign my MAC address
Another 40,000 paging everyday...Don’t become like they are
Come on baby... Don't wear the beeper
Baby come back to bed... Don't wear the beeper
Let the server room fry... Don't wear the beeper
Baby don’t you dare...
Em D Em
Half past two it shrills
Em D Em
Grab some caffeine pills
C D G
Late last night it happened
C D Em
And it was clear he left the thing on
C D Em
The staff was untrained and excitable
C D Em
It buzzed and danced on the night table
C D Em
The things she said were unwritable
D Em
Saying don’t you dare
D Em D Em
Come on baby... And he left their bed
D Em D Em
And he crossed the room... Let the server room fry
D Em
He grabbed his laptop and said goodbye
D Em
He had become like they are
D Em
Baby come back to bed
D Em
He had become like they are
D Em D Em D Em7
Come on baby...don't wear the beeper
