"Weird Al" Yankovic - Don't Download This Song

    Once in a while maybe you will feel the urge
    To break international copyright law
    By downloading MP3s from file-sharing sites
    Like Morpheus or Grokster or Limewire or KaZaA

    But deep in your heart you know the guilt would drive you mad
    And the shame would leave a permanent scar
    ‘Cause you start out stealing songs and then you’re robbing liquor stores
    And sellin’ crack and runnin’ over school kids with your car

    So don’t download this song
    The record store’s where you belong
    Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
    Oh, don’t download this song

    Oh, you don’t wanna mess with the R-I-double-A
    They’ll sue you if you burn that CD-R
    It doesn’t matter if you’re a grandma or a seven year old girl
    They’ll treat you like the evil hard-bitten criminal scum you are

    So don’t download this song
    Don’t go pirating music all day long
    Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
    Oh, don’t download this song

    Don’t take away money from artists just like me
    How else can I afford another solid gold Hum-Vee
    And diamond-studded swimming pools
    These things don’t grow on trees
    So all I ask is, “Everybody, please…”

    Don’t donwload this song (Don’t do it, no, no)
    Even Lars Ulrich knows it’s wrong (You can just ask him)
    Go and buy the CD like you know that you should (You really should)
    Oh, don’t download this song

    Don’t donwload this song (Oh please, don’t you do it)
    Or you might wind up in jail like Tommy Chong (Remember Tommy)
    Go and buy the CD (Right now) like you know that you should (Go out and buy it)
    Oh, don’t download this song

    Don’t download this song (No, no, no, no, no, no)
    You’ll burn in hell before too long (and you’ll deserve it)
    Go and buy the CD (Just buy it) like you know that you should (You cheap bastard)
    Oh, don’t download this song
