Next time you're up at the telescope, stuck in the control room, listening to the rain drum the dome, take advantage of the beat, sing this song and make up up some more verses.
In the Warrumbungles,
Sittin' in the pourin' rain.
In the Warrumbungles,
Sittin' in the pourin' rain.
Waitin' for the stars to shine,
To illuminate my mask design.
In the Warrumbungles,
Sittin' in the pourin' rain.
Got a machine,
They call it IRIS2.
Got a machine,
They call it IRIS2.
Got a machine called IRIS2,
But it's broken down and we don't know what to do.
Got a machine,
They call it IRIS2.
Got another machine,
They call it 2dF.
Got another machine,
They call it 2dF.
Got a machine called 2dF,
The fibres are in one hell of a mess.
Got a machine,
They call it 2dF.
They work you so hard,
When you're workin' at the AAT.
They work you so hard,
When you're workin' at the AAT.
You can go for a walk in the National Park,
But you gotta get back before it gets dark.
They work you so hard,
When you're workin' at the AAT.
