(to the tune of I Heard It Through the Grapevine)
I bet you're wondering how I knew
About all the things your firm intends to do,
And all of those secrets that you thought were hid,
Well, I knew them all before you did.
It comes as a surprise to you, I'll bet,
But I'm plugged into the Internet, and somebody ...
Chorus: Put it on a listserv!
It's a fate you think you don't deserve.
Yeah, somebody put it on a listserv!
Don't some people have a lot of nerve?
Honey, honey, yeah.
I know that folks aren't supposed to pry,
But your unlocked files just caught my eye.
Leaking them could mean your job, I know,
And I'd be sorry if they let you go.
But I couldn't keep them to myself,

Chorus: Put it on a listserv!
It's a fate you think you don't deserve.
Oh, yes, I put it on a listserv!

On the Internet you're guaranteed
Lots of trash is gonna come to you.
But I still think it's a blast,
Cause that trash gets to me so fast when somebody ...
Chorus: Puts it on a listserv!
It's a fate we pro'bly all deserve.
Somebody puts it on a listserv!
Don't some people have a lot of nerve?
Honey, honey, yeah.
Don't reply just to me;
Let the whole listserv see.
Go on and put it on a listserv!
