The ATLAS Boogie

Canettes Blues Band, Lyrics by S. Goldfarb

(16-bar boogie written for the ATLAS CD)

[16-bar intro: piano + rhythm]


We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home
We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home
I've been working all night out at Point 1
Looking for the Higgs, that son of a gun
We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home


In the Inner Detector, we've got all kinds of tracks
In the Inner Detector, we've got all kinds of tracks
We've got the SCT and the TRT
The Pixel Detector won't let me be
You gotta have all them tracks if you want the facts

If you're looking for heat, we've got the calorimetry
If you're looking for heat, we've got the calorimetry
There's the Liquid Argon and the HEC
The Tile Cal's plum full of energy
Because there's a little energy in everything we see


We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home
We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home
I've been working all night out at Point 1
Supersymmetry is lots of fun
We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home


[16-bar piano solo]

In the Muon Spectrometer, everything's going just fine
In the Muon Spectrometer, everything's going just fine
We've got the MDT and the CSC
The RPC and the TGC
Everything'll be just fine if we stay in line

We're surrounded by the greatest magnets you'll ever see
We're surrounded by the greatest magnets you'll ever see
We've got a solenoid and three toroids
The muons are getting paranoid
No matter how fast they go they just can't get free


We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home
We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home
I've been working all night out at Point 1
Looking for everything under the sun
We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home


[16-bar harp solo]


We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home
We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home
Our friends at 2 and 5 and 8
Might find the Higgs, but it'll be too late
We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home

Yes, our friends at 2 and 5 and 8
Might find the Higgs, but it'll be too late
We got the LHC running now, ATLAS you're my home
