It's kinda chilly in the house today
And I've discovered how to warm up, a brand new way!
If you think about it, it's really neat
How warm you are is powered by data center heat

Click on cat videos, view those video streams,
Share more of your very funny memes
Click more, click like, use the internet!
The more you do the warmer things here get

The only problem, for you and me
The more you click and like, you see
It's not just the house, but this planet we've got
That is really getting really, really hot
