When Folks with Fancy Apparatus

Tune: Cole Porter's "Anything Goes"

When folks with fancy apparatus
Use Facebook to post a status
In deathless prose,
Ev'ryone knows.

When tweeters tweet, across the Twitterverse,
Snarky remarks in bitter verse
Or bons mots,
Ev'ryone knows.

There's no taciturnity
In modernity,
And indecency
Pervades recency—
We speak candidly,
And, single-handedly,
We out-babble Charlie Rose.

'Cause once you vent your private feeling,
Your secret there's no concealing
From friends or foes;
Ev'ryone knows.
Face it, son—
Ev'ryone
Knows.
