Code Monkey
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Barry Manilow (I Write the Songs)
I've been around forever
I've been around forever
And I wrote the very first code
And I wrote the very first code
I put the mainframe and the punch cards together
I put the mainframe and the punch cards together
I'm a monkey, and I write the code
I'm a monkey, and I write the code
I write the code that makes the systems run
I write the code that makes the systems run
My code is cryptic but it get things done.
My code is cryptic but it get things done.
I write some code that makes my teammates cry
I write some code that makes my teammates cry
I write the code, I write the code
I write the code, I write the code
My code dives deep within loops
My code dives deep within loops
Sometimes that makes the system freeze
Sometimes that makes the system freeze
I wrote a widget, just in case
I wrote a widget, just in case
A pop-up, that says, "Wait please"
A pop-up, that says, "Wait please"
I write the code that makes the testers frown
I write the code that makes the testers frown
I write the code that brings the network down
I write the code that brings the network down
I like to say, "It worked on my machine"
I like to say, "It worked on my machine"
I write the code, I write the code.
I write the code, I write the code.
Well my brackets don't align
Well my brackets don't align
I might mis-use the "equal" sign
I might mis-use the "equal" sign
I can write some ugly code, but nevermind
I can write some ugly code, but nevermind
Code can sooth your heart
Code can sooth your heart
It's not a pattern, it's an art
It's not a pattern, it's an art
Your code looks, good to you
Your code looks, good to you
My code looks, good to me
My code looks, good to me
This is one geeky symphony
This is one geeky symphony
I write the code that makes the systems run
I write the code that makes the systems run
My code is ugly but it get things done
My code is ugly but it get things done
I write some code that makes my boss ask, "Why?"
I write some code that makes my boss ask, "Why?"
I write the code, I write the code
I write the code, I write the code
I write the code that makes devices talk
I write the code that makes devices talk
I write the code that makes the websites rockĀ
I write the code that makes the websites rockĀ
I write the code that makes the whole world tweet
I write the code that makes the whole world tweet
I write the code, I write the code
I write the code, I write the code
I'm a monkey, and I write the code!
I'm a monkey, and I write the code!
