Takin' Care of Business

We made our debut,
Back in 1962;
It's all controlled at MCC.
Faster than the speed of light,
SLAC hosted the first website,
And you can take a tour here for free.
The Archimedes text,
What will they uncover next?
Come and view the linac from afar.
The wires intertwine,
Up and down the beamline,
We've got an experiment called BaBar.
And we'll be...
Takin' care of business, here at SLAC,
Takin' care of business, no turnin' back,
Takin' care of business, everyday,
Takin' care of business, and everything's okay.
Three Nobel Prizes,
And buildings of great sizes,
We get our funding from the DOE.
Particle acceleration,
And our own fire station,
We've got the great Dr. Panofsky.
Several injectors,
And we've got 30 sectors.
We're just right off the interstate.
PEP & SPEAR,
You can find it all right here,
Just come on in through Alpine Gate.
And we'll be...
Takin' care of business, here at SLAC,
Takin' care of business, no turnin' back,
Takin' care of business, everyday,
Takin' care of business, and everything's okay.
Visit SSRL,
Or come stay at our hotel,
Come to watch the gamma rays burst.
If the tunnels are too small,
Just come to Collider Hall,
But please make sure that safety comes first.
Now before you embark,
Don't forget about the quark,
Discovered in End Station A.
I hope you liked my song,
Now I must be movin' on,
Enjoy the rest of Family Day.
And we'll be...
Takin' care of business, here at SLAC,
Takin' care of business, no turnin' back,
Takin' care of business, everyday,
Takin' care of business, and everything's okay.
