The Lyrics

(Computer Programming Humor)
Sittin', doin' Documentation

by Onus Writing

I've been sittin' since this mornin', son.
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come.
Watchin' the Screens roll up.
Then watchin' 'em roll down again.
Sittin' doin' documentation.
Watchin' the time roll away.
Sittin' doin' documentation .... Wastin' time.

First I gotta write the code.
Then I gotta key it all in.
Then when my program works.
I gotta write down all over again.
Sittin' doin' documentation.
Watchin' the time roll away.
Sittin' doin' documentation .... Wastin' time.

I left my home this mornin'.
Headed into work for the day.
I had nothin' else to live for.
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way.
So I'm Sittin' doin' documentation.
Watchin' the time roll away.
Sittin' doin' documentation .... Wastin' time.

I'm just sittin' here restin' my bones.
The boredome just won't leave me alone.
Two thousand words I've done.
Just to make this document my own.
I been Sittin' doin' documentation.
Watchin' the time roll away.
Sittin' doin' documentation .... Wastin' time.

Looks like nothin's ever gonna change.
Nobody's gonna read this stuff anyway.
I got 10 people tellin' me what to say.
So I guess it'll have to remain the same.
I been Sittin' doin' documentation.
Watchin' the time roll away.
Sittin' doin' documentation .... Wastin' time.

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack!! More paperwork to be done, just when you thought work is over! I'm typing you a documentation no more or no less than 555 words!

Captures the end-of-week ennui pretty well!
