dah dit dah dit,
 did you hear the Q?
dit dit dah dah dit dit,
 lost in all this chew


CW CW can you hear
it's all those pulses, that i fear


CQ CQ hear my tones
you resonding curles my toes


you talk with iambic
 i send with a bug
i beg for anything pedantic
 but your reply is a shrug


it's not what you send,
 that i don't like
but HOW it's sent,
 which isn't quite right


CQ field day, CQ field day
 it's me, charlie and papa.
We're sending greetings and our hopes,
 but all we get is so long and ta ta.


you're rubbing it in
 it hits us like lead
you get you contact
 and boast Q R Zed


we heard you make a CQ dash,
 as lightning does in a flash.
it was electric,
 it seemed like magic.
but before our exchange,
 you lept out of our range.


continuous wave
 oh how the dits and dahs flow
makes me want to shout
 SLOW DOWN TURBO!                EC


alas you hear us
a faint call in all this mess
thank you for your ear


damn you rag chewers
hogging the bands with your cud
save it for CB
