Deck the Lab

Sung to the tune of "Deck the Halls"

Written by Astrid Bellem, Karen Conway,
and Robert Rothwell of CyberFluor 1987

Deck the lab with plates and strips
Fa la la la la la la la la

An assembly line - let `er rip
Fa la la la la la la la la

Golden arches look absurd
Fa la la la la la la la la

In 6 months 10,000 served
Fa la la la la la la la la

Fill the lab with 615's
Fa la la la la la la la la

Read your plates and find the means
(Grinding plate noises)

Off we go to P. Y. Wong's
Oh no oh no oh no

Don't be here if things go wrong
Fa la la la la la la la la

Fast away the trial passes
Fa la la la la la la la la

Now no longer the plate crashes
Fa la la la la la la la la

Sing we now in praise together
Fa la la la la la la la la

We're CyberFluor and still together
Fa la la la la la la la la

MBA's

Sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells"

Written by the RDC Christmas Committee 1987

Chorus:

MBA's, MBA's, Business all the way!
Oh what fun to wear a tie
And bring home 50k!
MBA's, MBA's, Business all the way!
You can drive an Audi when you get your MBA!

Verse 1:

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a rest
And found an MBA
Was seated at my desk.
I went back to the lab
And wrote myself a note
To get a desk I'd have to learn
The latest market quotes. Oh!

Repeat Chorus but substitute last line:
You can own a condo when you get your MBA!

Verse 2:

So now I know the way
To get myself ahead
I'll wear a three-piece suit
And earn myself some bread.
I'll soon be selling short,
I'll work at King and Bay,
The market would have never crashed
If I'd had my MBA! Oh!

Repeat Chorus but substitute last line:
You can rule the country when you get your MBA!

Twas the Day of the Demo

Sung to tune of "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

Written by Astrid Bellem, Karen Conway,
and Robert Rothwell of CyberFluor 1987

Twas the day of the demo, and all through the place
The strain was showing on everyone's face
Rob fretted all night, it was easy to tell
In hopes that the instruments all would work well

Paul's suit had creases as sharp as a knife
On the demo's success he has wagered his life
The plane has not landed, or so we were told
And no one quite knew who we were about to behold

A banker, an agent, and a "scientist" type
Do they know about assays? Is the software all right?
Ten o`clock, twelve o`clock, a quarter to two
They're still in a meeting, when will they come through?

And finally then, the big moment came
The persons appeared, they all looked the same
A hmm and a look, a question or two
From what could be seen, it all seemed quite smooth

When out of the lab, there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my bench to see what was the matter
Away to the lab, I flew like a flash
Tore open the door and side stepped the trash

Rob: I with my tool case, Astrid: and I with my hook
Both: Off we ran to get a close look
When what to our wondering eyes should appear
But a miniature van and eight tiny reindeer

With a little old driver, who had come from afar
I knew in a moment, it must be JR
More rapid than eagles, off the line they came
And he whistled, and shouted and called them by name

"On unit one, on unit two, on three and on four"
"On five, on six, seven and more"
"On this bench, off that bench, by this wall"
"Come along, come along, fluorometers for all!"

He was dressed in plaid from his head to his toes
And his clothes were all covered with feathers and snow
A bundle of lasers he had flung on his back
And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack

He was huffing and puffing - a right jolly old elf
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself
A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head
Soon gave us a know, we had nothing to dread

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work
He fixed the machines, then turned with a jerk
Laying his finger on the side of his nose
And giving a nod, the wellmap was chose

He sprang to his van, to his team gave a whistle
And away they flew, as quick as a thistle
But I heard him shout, as they flew out of sight
"Merry Christmas to all - and to all a good night!"

Will It Sell?

Sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells"

Written by Astrid Bellem, Karen Conway,
and Robert Rothwell of CyberFluor 1987

Looking at the year
With 615's in disarray
Past the demos we go
Praying all the way! (ho ho!)

Distributors are in line
Making spirits high
Oh what fun it is to make
the marketing strategy!

Chorus:

Will it sell? Who can tell?
Worry all the way
Oh what fun to make a plan
and change it the next day! Hey!

Will it sell? We can tell!
Fisher signed today
Oh Italy, Germany and CMS
We're laughing all the way!
