Lyrics:

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'
The funny thing 'bout 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
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
The 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!
Wah-wah-way-oh
We're invited to a virtual party tonight... (You try it!)
Wah-wah-way-oh
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?
Wah-wah-way-oh
You're invited to a virtual party tonight
(What did you say now?)
Wah-wah-way-oh
You're invited to a virtual party tonight
(One more time now)
Wah-wah-way-oh
You're invited to a virtual party tonight
Ready or not here comes the 21st century
You're invited to a virtual party tonight
