I'm taking Annie out on the internet

We're going on a virtual date

I'll pick her up sharp around quarter to five

For her that means a quarter to eight

There won't be a question of her place or mine

I'll finger her address while our modems entwine

I'm taking Annie out on the internet

We're going on a virtual date

I'm taking Annie out on the internet

A cyber-struttin' dude and his doll

We'll slip through every socket on our TCP line

We'll master every server's protocol

Her knowledge of the net has got me thoroughly awed

She's got a cable modem and a dream-of-a-BAUD

I'm taking Annie out on the internet

We're going on a virtual date

We'll take a cruise

Through Usenet news

From comp.sys.unix to alt.barney.dinosaur.die.die.die

And when we've read

Through every thread

We'll have to take a moment and reply

We'll stop for tea

In IRC

We'll make a secret channel safe from passersby

And if by chance we get stuck in a MUD

Be it steamy conversation or dungeons 'n' blood

I'll have a shot to show her I'm a cyber-stud

And maybe I'll explore her GUI...

(spoken:) They say it's kinda 'gooey'...

I'm taking Annie out on the internet

We're browsing till we've seen every site

Link to link, we'll download all night

We're surfers at sport on the world's biggest stage

I'm taking Annie out on the internet

I'll log us in before it's too late

I get out on the net with her whenever I can

We met eleven days ago in alt.startrek.fan

I'd rather not remember that she might be a man

We're going on a virtual

Do a Google search, you will

Find us on our virtual

Date!
