(To the tune of "Money for Nothing", by Dire Straits)
I want my
I want my
I want my C-SPAN 3!
Look at them yo-yos--that's the way to do it,
Makin' speeches onna' C-SPAN 3,
That ain't workin', that's the way to do it,
Get your Parking for Nothing, bounce your checks for free!
Refrain (fellow USPTO employees would fully identify):
Gotta write these Final Rejections,
Gotta crank out--a lot a' B - D- 's,
Gotta move this--darned production,
Hope to get an ... F- W- C-[see note]!
See the politician with the Guccis anna' Rolex,
Hey buddy--you don't care--
The politician flies his own jet airplane,
The politician is a mil-lionaire!
(Refrain)
I shoulda tried, to run for Congress--
Seat in the Senate, or House for now--
Maybe get a little hoarse from all that shoutin',
Maybe get too fat from lobbyists' chow...
He's up there--what's that? Hawaiian vacation?!
Banging with the gavel like a chimpanzee,
That ain't workin', that's the way to do it,
Get your Parking for Nothing, bounce your checks for free!
Note: This song is obviously out of date, since the practice under 37 CFR 1.62 noted above has been replaced, according to the Rules changes effective 1 December 1997, by the C-P-A procedure of 37 CFR 1.53(d). But that doesn't rhyme...
