1776 parodies

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

A parody of "Piddle, Twiddle, and Resolve" from the musical 1776, begun on IRC.

I do believe you've laid a hex on the en-cyclopedia!
And so we must burn the witches
A curse that we now here rehearse in Wikipedia
A slashdot flood, a server breakdown
Plagues of trollers (hi) everywhere
Or world of warcraft cataclysmic downtime
I'd accept with some despair
But, no, you sent us DNA. <-- pseudoscience
Good God(keep christ out of christmas), sir, was that fair?
I say it with humility in Wikipedia
Were your responsibility in Wikipedia
If you don't want to see us hanging
From some far-off .com hill
If you don't want the voice of NPOV
Forever still
Then God, sir, get thee to it
For the ArbCom never will
You see, we tweedle dee, tweedle dum, and revert
Not one darn thing ever works
Piddle, twiddle, and revert
Nothing ever works in
Foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy
Wikipedia!
They may sit here for years and years on Wikipedia.
These indecisive grenadiers of Wikipedia.
They can't agree on what is right and wrong
Or what is good or doubleplusungood; I'm convinced
The only purpose this Wiki ever had
Was to gather here specifically
To drive its admins mad!
You see, we piddle, twiddle, and revert
Not one darn thing ever works
Piddle, twiddle, and resolve
Nothing ever works in
Foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy
Wikipedia!

Someone oughta open up a talk page!
