Chorus
Metadata, oh no
It's got to go now,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Metadata, oh no
It's got to go now,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

FGDC, you say to me
Write your metadata diligently
I write my metadata, all day long
Lynda tells me - boy, you going strong

Chorus

The ISO, they come along
Core, crosswalk, rollups - what's going on?
19115 - will cost a couple of bucks
Feel so good, quack like a duck

Chorus

The data queen, she talk so fast
HTML, a thing of the past
Migrating, harvesting data sets
Multi-level, baby as good as it gets
