Lyrics | Data run

Data run, still from the tv tune
Data run, still from the tv tune

Data run

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

1, 2, early morning
Gotta get up
Early morning, we know why, we know when
Tell them it’s starting in 1, 2 secs
Who’s that knocking on the door?
All together, 1, 2, 3, 4, keep in line
Just be fine
Electronic
Data run (4x)

Note: This is not a song, but a tune for a children’s early morning tv show. Though it has Yazoo’s signature combination of synth and voice, it’s not clear whether the tune was actually written by Alf and Vince. They may also have given an interpretation of an existing tune.
