Fer Alan et al: "IT'S A SOFTWARE WORLD
(sung to the tune of "It's a Small, Small World (After All)")

1)
It's a world of bugs. It's a world of hacks.
It's a world where doc-u-men-ta-tion lacks,
Where there's sel-dom a spec.
It's like wa--ding through dreck.
It's a sooooooft--ware world.

Chorus:
It's a software world, you see.
Lots of work for you and me
Fixing errors (hopefully).
It's a sooooooooooft-ware world.
****************

2)
It's a world of hacks. It's a world of hopes.
It's a world where pro--jects are on the ropes,
Where "It's almost all done"
But it still doesn't run.
It's a sooooooooooooft-ware world.

Chorus:
"Ninety eight percent complete"
It's been that way now, for weeks,
Tracking down the mem'ry leaks,
It's a sooooooooooft-ware world.
*****************

3)
It's a world of hopes. It's a world of fears.
"We've just got to fi---nish by end-of-year."
But the code doesn't care;
Enter years if you dare,
It's a sooooooooooft-ware world.

Chorus:
It's a software world, you see.
Fools rush in----Calamity!
<wailing off in a minor key>
'Twas a sooooooooft-ware world.
