Sing it to the tune of Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving song:
Love to use iPhone cus it's good
Love to use iPhone like a Mac boy should
Cus it's iPhone
to use
so Good
An iPhone for you, more cake for ME (and the shareholders)
We should all use iPhone and keep the shareholders happy!

Use that iPhone all night long
