To the tune of:

'Star of the County Down'

Late at night with a good bottle of wine - October 15, 2004

From Oklahoma

To Savannah Georgia

She came as a scientist

My love's bacteria

Said sweet Melissa

As she worked in the CIRE lab

She looked so smart

From deep in her heart

To the sheen of her bright red hair

Such a bright young lass

She taught a class

And some of her students are here

On the old Blue Fin

She went to sea again

And she threw up over the rail

And I said, said I

Now don't you cry

You've got to go down and bail

She smiled at me

And she said, said she

I'll track down that NasA gene

I won't fall asleep

In the Antarctic deep

I'm the best doc you've ever seen

From Buffalo

To less and less snow

And now he's self-employed

Oh my dear Pete

You're a hunk of meat

And I'll never be annoyed

She'd gone north whining

But it turned into pining

One late night on the net

Her pal named Andy

Turned out quite handy

And forever she'll be in his debt

He told her Pete

Was the one to meet

And now they're at the altar

We wish them luck

They're off to....St. Lucia

And their love will never falter

From Oklahoma

To Savannah Georgia

And now doin' Roanoke duty

Along came Pete

Such a love so sweet

So no more Dr. Booty
