The Op-Amp Song

(This carol is sung to the tune of "Joy to the World")

Joy to the world! My op-amp works!
Yet noise still remains.
Let ev'ry Protoboard
Prepare it room,
     And reap the pos'tive gain
     And reap the pos'tive gain
     And reap, and reap the pos'tive gain

They rule the world of circuitry!
They make the world go 'round.
Long gone are the days
Of vacuum tubes,
     The op-amp now abounds,
     The op-amp now abounds,
     The op, the op, the op-amp now abounds!

Now ends the lab, its time to go!
I think I understand!
The remnants of
My Protoboard
     Are smould'ring in my hand,
     Are smould'ring in my hand,
     Are smould'ring, smould'ring in my hand.
