Muons for Nothin'

(to the tune of Money for Nothin')

Look at them bozo's (that's the way you do it)
Build a big machine to catch a cosmic ray
That ain't background (beam gas is their signal)
Get your muons for nothing, get events all day

That ain't waitin' (beam is always comin')
Let me tell you, them guys ain't dumb
Maybe have some downtime to backup computers
Maybe take it down to change the run

We got to install microwave klystrons
Custom dipole assemblies
We got to run these accelerators
We got to run these cooler ring things

I should have learned to study cosmics
And neutrinos from the sun
No `expert en route to unquench the magnet'
Man, we could have some fun

And what's this? The run is goin'
But he's climbin' the detector like a chimpanzee
That ain't radiation (that's the way you do it)
Get your muons for nothing, get events for free

We got to install microwave klystrons
Custom dipole assemblies
We got to run these accelerators
We got to run these cooler ring things
