Sing this to the tune of the Who's song "Pinball Wizard"

                          CoCo Wizard
                        By Dr. Megabyte

From Ft. Worth down to Prospect, I thought I'd seen 'em all
But I ain't seen nothing like, it in any shopping mall
It's brand new from Tandy, It's Commadore's nightmare
That new little CoCo, sure runs some great software

I stand like a statue, become part of the machine
Pecking at the keyboard, I'm staring at the screen
This CoCo's so much fun, it's more than I can bear
That new little CoCo, sure runs some great software

He's a CoCo Wizard, just watch his fingers fly
A CoCo wizard will hack until he dies
How do you think it does it - I don't know
What makes it so good?

Can't run Lotus 1 2 3, But it burns with Dynacalc
And it beats it every time, Just ask Lonnie Falk
That sixty eight oh nine, no 8 bit can compare
That new little CoCo, sure runs some great software

I thought I was the home computer king,
But I just handed my I/O crown to him

Even on my favorite program, his graphics are the best
I start by typing 'run', the GIME does the rest
OS9 gives me more, multi task if I dare
That new little CoCo, sure runs some neat software
