Got a token ring around my net,
                             G7
Why'd I put it in?  I now forget!
                  C C7               F
It would give me joy to unplug this toy;
               C          G7             C   F  C
I've got this dumb token ring around my net.
C (tacet)    C          G7  C
Got a token ring around my net,
                                  G7
It takes more care than a virtual pet.
               C C7               F
Every network use counts as net abuse;
                   C          G7             C   F7  C7
While I have this dumb token ring around my net.

Well, they say that running PPP is not the proper thing,
        F7                             C        C7
And we need a richer feature list than TCP can bring,
     F7                            C
They haven't yet got NOTIS PACLink working with Novell,
    D7                           G7   D7-5  G7
So here I am stuck in this token hell!

With a token ring around my net,
Why'd I put it in?  I now forget!
It would give me joy to unplug this toy;
I've got this dumb token ring around my net.

Well, they say that running PPP is not the proper thing,
And we need a richer feature list than TCP can bring,
They haven't yet got NOTIS PACLink working with Novell,
So here I am stuck in this token hell!

Got a token ring around my net,
It takes more care than a virtual pet.
Every single use counts as net abuse;
While I have this dumb token ring around my net.
While I have this dumb token ring around my net.
