(Noel Paul Stookey, Elizabeth B. Stookey, Dave Tkachuk) It's 11 o'clock in the evening - I'm barefoot - And I'm logged-on to the INTERNET. I usually pickup my e-mail in the afternoon But on weekends sometimes I forget... I yell down the hall to the bedroom, "Honey, I'll be right there..." She says "that's ok, dear, I got a brand new book here and I'm not going anywhere". A funny thing about a couple when a couple of years've gone by. You don't talk; you think you know each other so well you don't have to try... You take for granted what you used to call enchanted just a while ago... Ah..when does a mystery turn into history? I don't know... Anyway, I got another meg of data coming down the line; A Wall Street profile...spreadsheet from a friend of mine... Up on the screen pops a little green box says 'click on me'. Somewhere I swear Alice in Wonderland's callin'... I look up at the clock (not as late as I thought: only quarter to one). Download's finished, I could take five minutes and have me some fun. The invitation's from a web location in Hong Kong. It's already started, this virtual party runs all night long! I say all night? We're invited to a virtual party tonight...(you try it) You're invited to a virtual party tonight... There's computers in the microwave, computers in the automobile, computers in the phone. Oh and even my wife who used to tell me to 'get a life' Has got a computer of her own. I spend so much time saving time I can't find any time to spend ... I've taped sixteen episodes of "Star Trek" but when am I gonna show them?! It's un-believable, must be sixty, seventy people here at the party site. Icons, Avatars, Images of Movie Stars surfing tonight... Well I'm looking for a chat when I get a note that Says 'ya wanna go...to a place more private? I kinda think you'll like it...' I say 'I...yi...' She says her name is 'Mata Hari' and that she's particularly fond of older men... Well maybe so, maybe not, maybe she's a guy that's got this urge to pretend... And then it occurs to me, I don't need this fantasy... After all, everything I'd be looking for, I've got and even more, Sleeping at the end of the hall... I shut down the box, still it's three o'clock by the time I get to bed... I lift up the covers; snuggle next to my lover; find a note there instead... It says "the book was dumb, logged on, found a message from Hong Kong... For a virtual party (I'm goin' as 'mata hari') may be all night long..." I say all night? Oh, Oh, you're invited to a virtual party tonight... (what did you say now...?) Oh, Oh, you're invited to a virtual party tonight... (one more time now) Oh, Oh, you're invited to a virtual party tonight... (one more one more one more) Ready or not here comes the 21st century You're invited to a virtual party tonight...
