(A) Now the guys who built computers were really smart
They could (E) make an IBM out of (A) old spare parts
Then they could forecast the weather, do incredible math
They could (E) track the cosmos on a (A) million year path
Now (D) do you think computer geeks were so dumb
That they (E) could not foresee the millennium
 

(CHORUS) (A) Y2K  Y2K
(E) Where will you be on that fateful  day  (A) Y2K  (E)
 

Now the (A) moment that the year 2000 strikes
(E) Computers gonna do any (A) thing they like
They can back up the sewers, shut the power down
Send a (E) nuclear warhead to your (A) home town
And you (D) won't get your food at the Safeway no more
Cause the (E) horders and the looters have emptied the stores (CHORUS) )
 

Now will you (A) be on the farm just tilling the sod
Or will you (E) join a street gang where you (A) kill and you rob
Will you hide in your condo with your kids and wife
Or be (E) stuck in a prison for the (A) rest of your life
(D) This here is 1999
Its the (E) last year that things are gonna be fine (CHORUS)
 

Will you (A) be in New York City eating pigeons and rats
Or (E) holed up in a cave eating (A) bugs and bats
Will you be meditating at the Pyramids
Or in your  (E) Idaho bunker just (A) flipping your lid
(D) I wanna know what you're gonna do
Cause (E) I might just wanna follow you (CHORUS)
 

Now the (A) wizards who created this computer crash
Are (E) selling the solutions for (A) piles of cash
Did you think the corporations were giving an inch
What (E) do you think the army will (A) do in a pinch
(D) Could it be a little computer flaw
Is (E) their excuse for instituting martial law (CHORUS)
 

Will you (A) be in Jerusalem waiting for Christ
But his (E) website is down, so for-(A)get, it no dice
Will you be on 42nd Street at old Times Square
Where the (E) ball that falls is (A) stuck in the air
Will you (D) be on the space shuttle afraid to land
Cause (E) even all of its computers are jammed (CHORUS)
