May I have your attention please
May I have your attention please
Will the real hackathon please stand up
I repeat, will the real hackathon please stand up
We're gonna have a problem here

[Verse 1]
Y'all act like you never seen a real hacker before
Jaws all on the floor, cuz we just burst in the door
HackMIT's better than anyone ever before
Your efforts were poor, your hackathon was a bore (Ahh!)
It's the return of the... "Ah, wait, no way, you're kidding
He didn't just rip off our website, did he"
And David F. said... nothing, you idiots
David F is dead, still stalking my facebook
Little children love MIT
Bigga bigga bigga than our hackathon? oh we’ll see
Look at them, running around flaunting their thousand sign ups
Tweeting to you-know-who,"’ "Yeah, but we’ve got startups"
Yeah, we probably got a couple of screws up in our heads loose
But no worse than what's going on in UMich’s bathrooms
Sometimes I wanna get on Hacker News and just let loose, oh
Wait I did, it was kinda big news
“Our hackathon is so big, our hackathon is so big”
You’re overcompensating, don’t you know better, kid?
And that’s the message that they deliver to little kids
And expect they gonna know what HackMIT is
Of course they gonna know what true remorse is
If they go to MHacks
They've got the the internet, don't they?
“We ain’t nothing but hackathons” – well, some of us, paragons
While others make promises they can’t deliver on
This time we’ll kill it, we admit it, last time was a yawn
Hackers wave your Macbook Pros, sing the chorus and it goes

[Hook x2]
We’re HackMIT, yes we’re HackMIT
All you other “best hackathons” are just imitating
So won’t the real engineers please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up?
