H.A.L. - The Tucker Brothers

H.A.L. Lyrics

I remember when Java was coffee,
and a net was a thing to catch fish.
Webs were the domain of spiders,
how things have changed, still, I wish...
That my PC could talk to me,
tell me what that lingo means,
answer all my questions, be my pal.
Laugh at all my silly jokes,
tell me that I shouldn't smoke.
I wish that my PC was more like HAL, yes
I wish that my PC was more like HAL.
A mouse was a cheese eatin varmint,
and windows were just holes filled with glass.
Folders were still made out of cardboard.
Tell me, is it just too much to ask???

That my PC could talk to me,
tell me what that lingo means,
answer all my questions, be my pal.
Laugh at all my silly jokes,
tell me that I shouldn't smoke.
I wish that my PC was more like HAL, yes
I wish that my PC was more like HAL.
