Lady on the Web Theme Song, Take 2

Miss Underwood and I agreed that the theme song needed a little smoothing out from the first draft. It's interesting how song lyrics differ from spoken poetry -- much more elision is needed, especially in popular music, where the aim's to produce something hummable. Here's the second draft, with chords:

Lady on the Web

Lady on the Web
Count on her to keep it cool
Lady on the Web
Everyone's friend, nobody's fool
So chill your jets, and check your aggression
The virtual Parliament is now in session
Whatever your blues, you'll soon be confessin'
To -- Lady on the Web!

Lady on the Web
She can answer anything
Lady on the Web
On the fly, on the wing
So pick your theme, and play variations
It's a symphony of conversation
You're always in tune when your Internet station
Is -- Lady on the Web!
