about

Song notes: on this day in Dublin far from home I am thankful for all the computer programmers who came before us and the work they did.

(I’m paying homage to an earlier song called The Work of the Weavers which expressed gratitude for those who make cloth)

lyrics

We’re all met together here to browse and post
As we gather round the gadgets we love the most
And we wouldn’t have the servers from which they host
If it was not for the work of the programmers

If it was not for the programs what would it bode?
You wouldn’a hae a thing that’s made of code
You wouldn’a had the Google maps to map your road
If it was not for the work of the programmers

There’s shopkeepers and truckers and there’s actors and all
There's doctors and there's ministers and them that live by law
And our friends in Sooth America, though them we never saw
But we know they use the work of the programmers

If it was not for the programs what would that bode?
You wouldn’a hae a thing that’s made of code
And you wouldn’a had the Google maps to map your road
If it was not for the work of the programmers

Though coding is a trade that we never can doubt
So long as we need features and to keep bugs out
So let us all be merry o'er a glass of good stout
And we'll drink to the health of the programmers

If it was not for the programs what would that bode?
You wouldn’a hae a thing that’s made of code
And you wouldn’a had the Google maps to map your road
If it was not for the work of the programmers
