[To be sung allegro, with vigor]


Well, if you can't do it with <!LINKTYPE ...>,
And features of SGML,
And if you can't hack it in HyTime,
No sweat!  It's in DSSSL!

	DSSSL!
	DSSSL!
	It's really cool!
	A useful tool!
	It's DSSSL!

"So tell me then, what does it look like?"
Afraid I can't -- nobody knows!
I guarantee you're gonna love it,
Just wait and see, that's how it goes.

	DSSSL!
	DSSSL!
	It's like a dream!
	It's based on Scheme!
	It's DSSSL!

The World-Wide-Web's gotta have stylesheets,
Or HTML's going to burst.
Will DSSSL come and save us
(Unless Netscape gets to it first)?

	DSSSL!
	DSSSL!
	Never fear,
	It's almost here!
	It's DSSSL!

So -- if -- FOSI's are driving you batty,
And PDF isn't enough,
This standard will solve all your problems
(But it isn't finished yet.  Tough.)

	DSSSL!
	DSSSL!
	It's amazingly great
	But you'll just have to wait
	For Dee-ess-ess-ess-ellllllll!
