I bet you they won't play this song here at Microsoft
I bet you they won't play this new ____ing song
It's not that it's ____ or ____ ___ controversial,
it's just that the ____ing words are awefully strong.
You can't say ____ here at Microsoft.
Or ____ or _____ or _____.
You can't even say I'd like to ____ you some day,
unless you're a doctor with a very large ____!

So I bet you they won't play this song here at Microsoft
I bet you they won't ____ing well program it.
I bet you their ____ing old program directors,
will think it's a load of horse ____.
