Intro    : The song is *old*.  I haven't any idea when it came out,
	   but it has a flavor of the '30s at the latest.  (And how
	   many other a.f.c. readers find that the words make one
	   think of the silliness of a Mary Kay Cosmetics pep rally?)
	   I had a copy of the music sheet many years ago; it's
	   probably buried in one of my files marked "humor" from
	   several moves back.  For today's posting I copied the text
	   from the SHARE songbook, where it appears with such favorites as:

	     Should old Chuck Forney be forgot (and HASP songs sung no more)?
	     Real Good Throughput, Here I Come
	     If I Had a HASP (I'd be SPOOLin' in the morning)
	     JES 2, Joy of Man's Desiring

	   and, of course, that old standby:

	     HASPy Days are Here Again

Song     : 

		EVER ONWARD, IBM

  There's a thrill in store for all 
  For we're about to toast
  The corporation that we represent.
  We're here to cheer each pioneer and also proudly boast,
  Of that man of men, our sterling president
  The name of T. J. Watson means a courage none can stem
  And we feel honored to be here to toast the I-B-M

  Ever Onward! Ever Onward!
  That's the spirit that has brought us fame.
  We're big but bigger we will be.
  We can't fail for all can see, that serve humanity
  Has been our aim.
  Our products now are known in every zone.
  Our reputation sparkles like a gem.
  We've fought our way through
  And new fields we're sure to conquer, too.
  For the ever onward I-B-M!

  Ever onward! Ever Onward!
  We're bound for the top to never fall
  Fight here and now we thankfully
  Pledge sincerest loyalty
  To the corporation that's the bets of all.
  Our leaders we revere and while we're here,
  Let's show the world just what we think of them!
  So let us sing men -- sing men
  Once or twice, then sing again
  For the ever onward I-B-M!
