This is a song about perl and programming to the tune of
Piano Man by Billy Joel.

It's twelve o'clock on a saturday.
And I am still sitting here writting Perl code.
I have deadline due on monday.
How can I burden this load.


Sing us a song your the programmer man.
Sing us a song tonight.
Well were all in the mood for a perl regex.
And you've got use feelin' all right.


Mike at the Comp., he's a freind of mine.
He gives me perl help for free.
He's a perl pro, has a friend named Joe,
but there's some place that he'd rather be.
He say's Jemts I believe I am better than this.
As he looks around his working space.
He says I could own my own Perl website.
If i can get out of this place.


Sing us a song your the programmer man.
Sing us a song tonight.
Well were all in the mood for a perl regex.
And you've got use feelin' all right.

"If you're traveling in a time machine, and you're eating corn on the cob, I don't think it's going to affect things one way or the other. But here's the point I'm trying to make: Corn on the cob is good, isn't it."
