BabStream (Hiatus Edition)
Adapted from “Babs Seed” (Daniel Ingram/Cindy Morrow)


Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

First, we thought that Babs had it really, really fixed
Her art show was back, and we all could get our kicks

But then she found the truth; her motherboard was taxed too far
The channel went, yeah, to a bunch of color bars

Every time we looked, offline was all it said

BabStream, BabStream, what’re we gonna do?
Her computer’s broken down
There’s no way to work around
BabStream, BabStream, till the year is new
Got a plan to rearrange
Friday nights we gotta change
BabStream, BabStream, we’re missin’ Babs’ BabStream

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lurking in the chatroom, we know it isn’t right
But we cannot think of something else to do on Friday night

Oh, we’ll play best-ofs, and that will tide us for a while
But we’ve been through ’em twice—yes, all the way through the pile

We refresh again—and still the channel’s dead

BabStream, BabStream, what’re we gonna do?
Her computer’s broken down
There’s no way to work around
BabStream, BabStream, till the year is new
Got a plan to rearrange
Friday nights we gotta change

Miss her style, miss her ’tude
Miss when Lady Sane’s unglued
Won’t it be nice, won’t it be keen
When she returns on her brand-new machine?

BabStream, BabStream, we’re missin’ Babs’ Babs-
BabStream, BabStream, we’re missin’ Babs’ Babs-
BabStream, BabStream—

We’re missin’ Babs’ BabStream
