'82: Happy Beeping Lyrics

My mother found another jerk
A drummer, Chad, who likes to smirk
At those who lacked his special skills
Keeping loose time with little fills

One morn I found my counterpoint
Homework torn up, tacked to my door
Like Luther's 95 Theses
A note explained what this was for

"Happy Beeping" it said
"Happy Beeping" it read
The creep had come a-creeping
Happy Beeping

He clearly hated Neu! and Can
Postured at Eno and Japan
Though, to be fair, he liked my books
He took my Richard Brautigan

"Happy Beeping" it said
"Happy Beeping" it read
In the night while I was sleeping
Happy Beeping

"Happy Beeping" it said
"Happy Beeping" it read
In the night while I was sleeping
Happy Beeping
