I heard you in the classroom back in ’62,Sitting there intent on tuning into you,If I was young, it didn’t stop you coming through.

Oh … Oh (women’s chorus)

They took the credit for your second colloquy,Re-written by machine on new technology,And now I understand the problems you could see.

Moo … MOOCs (women’s chorus)

My children’s question …

Moo … MOOCs (women’s chorus)

What should I tell them?

Internet killed the classroom star (women’s chorus)Internet killed the classroom star

Broadband came and broke your heart …

Moo … Moo … Moo … Moo … MOOCs (women’s chorus)

And now we meet in an abandoned studio,We hear your playback and it seems so long ago,And you remember how the lectures used to go …

Moo … MOOCs (women’s chorus)

You took the podium …

Moo … MOOCs (women’s chorus)

You were the best oneInternet killed the classroom star (women’s chorus)Internet killed the classroom star

In my mind and seminar,We can’t click off, we’ve gone too far.

Moo … Moo … Moo … MOOCs (women’s chorus)

Internet killed the classroom star (women’s chorus)Internet killed the classroom star

In my mind and seminar,We can’t click off, we’ve gone too far.

Broadband came and stopped your quips,Put the blame on microchips.
