David T. Okamura asked me to post this for him when I ran into him at 
ConChord.

                              Hale-Bopp
(sung to the tune of "Lollipop", but stretch the word "Hale" over the two 
notes for "Lolli-")

Chorus (1 voice):   Hale-Bopp, Hale-Bopp, oh Comet Hale-Bopp, oh
       (2 voices):  Hale-Bopp, Hale-Bopp, oh Comet Hale-Bopp, oh
       (3 voices):  Hale-Bopp, Hale-Bopp, oh Comet Hale-Bopp, oh
                    Hale-Bopp!  (*Pop!* Da-dum, dum, dum...) 

(all voices repeat Chorus)

Go see Comet Hale-Bopp -- tell ya why:
It is the biggest light show in the sky.
Across the starry heavens it will sail.
With a million-mile long tail.

It's Comet (all voices repeat Chorus)

Bring your kids along -- don't be late.
You will never be forgiven.
If you miss it now you'll have to wait.
'Till forty-three fifty-seven.

(All voices repeat Chorus)

Comet watching thrills me -- tell ya why:
It's quite humbling seeing them fly by.
Compared to comets we're like grains of sand.
In the universe's plan.

It's Comet (All voices repeat Chorus).

       (1 voice):   Hale-Bopp, Hale-Bopp, oh Comet Hale-Bopp, oh
       (2 voices):  Hale-Bopp, Hale-Bopp, oh Comet Hale-Bopp, oh
       (3 voices):  Hale-Bopp, Hale-Bopp, oh Comet Hale-Bopp, oh
                    Hale-Bopp!  Oh Hale-Bopp!

(The biggest drawback for writing a filk about Comet Hale-Bopp, of course, 
is that you can only perform it once every 2,360 years.)
