I am so excited! For a year, I've been lamenting the fact that my favorite Electric Company sketch is not on the dvd. But a kind visitor to my blog informed me that the sketch is on YouTube!
I normally do not look on YouTube because I have been so good at finding other ways to pass the time . . . but I suspect that I'll be watching more videos now that I have a user account there and everything.
My new goal is to watch the clip often enough to memorize the song. For nearly 40 years I have been singing it to myself with lots of "da da das" stuck in to replace the words I've forgotten. L. Ottaviano: THANK YOU.
You can find script and lyrics here:

It's not entirely complete or correct, but reveals the interesting fact that the song/sketch was written by Tom Lehrer!

Thanks, Altissima! Gotta love the Lehrer . . . looks like YouTube has some other great Lehrer pieces too.
