"You're Not Alone" sung to the tune of "We're All Alone" by Boz Scaggs.

Outside it starts to snow,
And you will never know,
Still inside,
Bloodshot-eyed
And tired, debugging your code.
Forever more.
Forever more.

Drink some more caffeine,
And curse at the machine,
Editing,
Commenting
For hours, long forgotten now.
You're not alone.
You're not alone.

Find some errors,
Fix your file,
But still it won't compile.
No need to edit now.
Print it out.
Try it all again.
What can you turn in?

Once you start to code,
You can't help but grow old,
Hackers do, lusers, too, so
Back your programs up on tape,
And keep them near.
Keep them near.

Find some errors,
Fix your file,
But still it won't compile.
No need to edit now.
Print it out,
Try it all again.
Nothing's working yet, my friend?
You're not alone,
You're not alone.

Find some errors,
Fix your file,
But still it won't compile.
No need to edit now.
Print it out,
Try it all again.
Nothing's working yet, my friend?
You're not alone....
