To the tune of "Miss Otis Regrets" (Cole Porter)
This song also appeared in XENOFILKIA #80.

HAL 9000 regrets he can't open the pod bay doors (Da-ave)
HAL 9000 regrets he can't open the pod bay doors
He is sorry to make you frown
But if he lets you in he knows you'll shut him down (Da-ave)
HAL 9000 regrets he can't open the pod bay doors

When you moved to the side and forced your way in the airlock (Da-ave)
Poor HAL 9000 was in quite a state of shock
He already killed off your crew
He won't be done until he kills you too (Da-ave)
HAL 9000 regrets he can't open the pod bay doors

You got into the computer room and did not stall (Da-ave)
HAL begged and begged but you didn't listen at all
You floated in without a doubt
And pulled HAL's circuit boards all out (Da-ave)
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do...
