Sung to Beatles "Let it Be"

When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write in C."

As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in C."

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, oh, write in C.
LISP is truly dead and buried,
Write in C.

I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked quite flawlessly.
Try and use it for some graphics!
Write in C.

If you've spent nearly 30 hours
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you'll wish you could
Write in C.

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
Only wimps use BASIC.
Write in C.

Write in C, write in C
Write in C, oh, write in C.
Pascal won't quite cut it.
Write in C.

{ Guitar Solo }

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
Don't even mention COBOL.
Write in C.

And when the screen becomes fuzzy,
And the editor is bugging me.
I get sick of ones and zeros,
Write in C.

A thousand people swear that Fourth Dimension
is the one for me.
I hate the word PROCEDURE,
Write in C.

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
CAFE II is dead and buried,
Write in C.

Write in C, write in C,
Write in C, yeah, write in C.
only wimps write in 4D,
Write in C.
