Bugs
lyrics (c)1995
by Nancy Louise Freeman
tune: "Boots" by Leslie Fish
Functions, macros, subroutines that I now hate;
Scrolling on through endless lines of code to locate
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, scolling up and down again
There's nothing wrong with my code!
Write my error messages and place with care,
Try to run it - ha! they only pop up elsewhere:
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, scolling up and down again
There's nothing wrong with my code!
Language follows sane deterministric laws;
Some arcane syntactic rule must be the cause of
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, scolling up and down again
There's nothing wrong with my code!
Hackin-in Fortran by some kid who's off his head;
Oh my god don't say it's object-oriented!
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, scolling up and down again
There's nothing wrong with my code!
Once I had a theory of which I was sure:
Somehow they sneaked out past the exception handler:
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, scolling up and down again
There's nothing wrong with my code!
Closed my eyes to find the sleep that I was due;
To my horror, found my dreams were lousy too with
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, scolling up and down again
There's nothing wrong with my code!
Twenty hours of overtime I had to pull;
Now you tell me that the damn compiler's full of
Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs, screwing up the symbol table -
Nothing's wrong -
See, there's nothing wrong -
No, there's nothing wrong with my code!
