                     16 Hours
(Parody of 16 Tons by: Tennessee Ernie Ford)

Some online gamers say "I'm a newbie."
And young newbies have no Brains or skills.
Brains or skills and patience to play,
Cause my eyes are weak, but hands are strong.

(Chorus :)
I played 16 hours- and what did I get?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and a keyboard that’s wrecked.
Server don't you kill me cause I can't go,
Cause I'm playin' UT- Two Thousand n' Four.

I got up one morning when the sun didn't shine,
Turned on the comp. and waited for the chime.
I play 16 hours didn't do any chores,
My girlfriend came home and slammed the door.

(Chorus :)
I played 16 hours- and what did I get?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and a keyboard that’s wrecked.
Server don't you kill me cause I can't go,
Cause I'm playin' UT- Two Thousand n' Four.

I was playing one morning, the server was tame,
Fragger’s Revenge is my gaming name.
I was losing the matches, but I still kept on tryin,
But I lost my connection and a started a crying.

(Chorus :)
I played 16 hours- and what did I get?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and a keyboard that’s wrecked.
Server don't you kill me cause I can't go,
Cause I'm playin' UT- Two Thousand n' Four.

If you see me joining- you best be Spectating on the side,
A lot of gamers didn't, A lot of them died.
I learned to play better- and upped my skills,
If the 1st Redeemer don’t hit you, the next one will.

(Chorus :)
I played 16 hours- and what did I get?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and a keyboard that’s wrecked.
Server don't you kill me cause I can't go,
Cause I'm playin' UT- Two Thousand n' Fooooooour.

         16 Tons

Some people say a man is made out of mud,
A poor man's made out of muscle and blood.
Muscle and blood and skin and bones,
A mind that's weak and a back that's strong.

(Chorus :)
You load 16 tons, and what ya get?,
Another day older and deeper in debt.
St. Peter don'cha call me, cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store.

I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine,
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine.
I loaded 16 tons of number-nine coal,
And the straw boss said, "Well bless my soul!".

(Chorus :)
You load 16 tons, and what ya get?,
Another day older and deeper in debt.
St. Peter don'cha call me, cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store.

I was born one morning, it was drizzlin' rain,
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name.
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion,
Cain't no high-toned woman makes me walks the line.

(Chorus :)
You load 16 tons, and what ya get?,
Another day older and deeper in debt.
St. Peter don'cha call me, cause I can't go,
I owe my soul to the company store.
.
If you see me comin' better step aside,
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died.
One fist of iron, the other of steel,
If the right one don't getcha then the left one will.

(Chorus :)
You load 16 tons, and what ya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter don'cha call me, cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
