Well...the existence of the IBM Songbook is asserted in Rodgers's biography of
T. Watson the elder, *Think*, and if memory serves, it cites some of the lyrics.
Also, Ted Nelson's *Computer Lib/Dream Machines* refers to a group of precocious
kids who found a copy of said book and serenaded the IBMers at their booth at a
conference.  Then, there's an outfit that sells disks full of PD/shareware stuff
that claims to have a program that plays songs from the songbook, in particular
the infamous "Ever Onward, IBM."  I haven't seen the book itself, but I tend to
think it exists.
