steve savitzky - the programmer's alphabet lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
a is for ascii, our alphabet’s name
b is the bugs, for which we get the blame
c the computer, which never works right, and
d is debugging, the rest of the night

[verse 2]
e is the elegant problems we’re set
f is old fortran we try to forget
g is the goto we’re trying to k!ll, and
h is the hacker who uses it still

[chorus]
programming, programming, all through the night
we’re stuck here until our new program works right
programming, programming, isn’t it fun?
the maintenance starts when debugging is done!

[verse 3]
i is the input we handle with care
j is the jump to n0body knows where
k is the kludge with which we got by, and
l is for later to fix it we’ll try

[verse 4]
m is the memory, dropping a bit
n the new version, that doesn’t quite fit
o is the op’rating system we buy, and
p is the patch to make our programs fly

[chorus]
programming, programming, all through the night
we’re stuck here until our new program works right
programming, programming, isn’t it fun?
the maintenance starts when debugging is done!

[verse 5]
q is for qwerty, of typewriter lore
r is the ram that we used to call core
s is the standard we’ll follow some day, and
t is the teletype, banging away

[verse 6]
u is the user, that unhappy man
v is the vengeance he wreaks when he can
w is work, it’s the manager’s call, and
x is the xerox machine down the hall

[chorus]
programming, programming, all through the night
we’re stuck here until our new program works right
programming, programming, isn’t it fun?
the maintenance starts when debugging is done!

[verse 7]
y is the yes you reply by mistake, and
z is the zeros all over your tape
there may be more verses they wanted to send
but they’ve all gotten clobbered, so this is the end

(no chorus after last verse)
