\J	IBM is famous for the songs its salesmen sing, but times change,
and just as new models of computers are always coming out, there need to
be new model songs.  As an occasional IBM consultant, I am always glad
to help out.  The invoice will come later.  Actually, this is a song of
the 1960s.  I have no idea of what a 1970s IBM song should be like./.

\F3\CWe Belong to It

It's got everything it needs,
It's big business, it don't look back.
It could take Penn Central Railway
And make the red ink black.

You will start out standing
Proud to serve till FS goes
You will start out standing
Proud to serve till FS goes
But the boss came back from Armonk
With brown upon his nose

There are layers of executives
That don't think before they speak
There are layers of executives
That don't think before they speak
If you want to keep the system simple
You are a walking antique.

Although it often stumbles,
It's got no place to fall
Although it often stumbles,
It's got no place to fall
There are programmers by the acre
When the salesman needs to call

Bow down to it on Sunday
Salute when Watson's birthday comes
Bow down to it on Sunday
Salute when Watson's birthday comes
For Halloween sell a 370
And for Christmas two more drums
