Tech Support Hold Blues

(blues, in C minor with an A natural)
(inspired by a bad day at work)

I sat down this mornin'
And I wrote down this song.
'Bout those nasty people
Who keep doin' me wrong
I got the blues
Those sittin' on tech support hold blues
(spoken: thank God for speakerphones)
I got those "what are you paid for? I can't get what I asked for!" blues...

This guy just won't help me
He thinks I'm a little girly fool
Till I tell him that I fixed it
While he left me on hold
I got the blues
Those sittin' on tech support hold blues
(spoken: and I'm sick of it too!)
I got those "I know my stuff babe, so don't condescend babe!" blues.

They tell me it's on the web
Somewhere on their site
But it's so gussied up
And they can't get it right
I got the blues
Those sittin' on tech support hold blues
(spoken: these graphics take forever!)
I got those "Who wrote their dbase, I'll get on their case" blues.

'Cause they don't know how to please me
They think that they can tease me
Oh--
I've got those sittin' on tech support hold blues.
