Let's dance!

S-B-C-L!

Young geek, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young geek, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young geek, 'cause you're in a new old language
There's no need to be unhappy.

Young geek, there's a language you can use.
I said, young geek, when you're short on your code.
You can use that, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.
It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.

It has everything for you geek to code,
You can hang out with the emacs mode ...

It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.
It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.

You can get working code, you can have a program,
You can do whatever you feel ...

Young geek, are you listening to me?
I said, young geek, what do you want to be?
I said, young geek, you can make real your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!

No geek does it all by himself.
I said, young geek, put your pride on the shelf,
And just program, with the s.b.c.l.
I'm sure it can help you today.

It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.
It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.

It has everything for you geek to enjoy,
You can hang out with emacs mode ...

It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.
It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.

You can get woking code, you can have a program,
You can do whatever you feel ...

Young geek, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the bugs.
I felt no geek cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole hard disk was so tight ...

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young geek, take a walk up the GNU.
There's a program there called the s.b.c.l.
It can start you back on your way.

It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.
It's fun to program with the s-b-c-l.

It has everything for you geek to enjoy,
You can hang out with emacs mode ...

S-b-c-l ... you'll find it in the s-b-c-l.

Young geek, young geek, there's no need to feel down.
Young geek, young geek, get yourself off the bugs.

S-b-c-l ... you'll find it in the s-b-c-l.

Young geek, young geek, there's no need to feel down.
Young geek, young geek, get yourself off the bugs.

S-b-c-l ... just use the s-b-c-l.

Young geek, young geek, are you listening to me?
Young geek, young geek, what do you wanna be?

Fernando

Can you hear the beeps Fernando?
I remember long ago another language not like this
In the slime session Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your keyboard
I could hear the distant console beep coming from above

They were closer now Fernando
Every keystroke seemed to last eternity
I was so afraid Fernando
We were young and full of bugs and none of us prepared to code
And I'm not ashamed to say
The bad c/c++ code almost made me cry

There was repl in emacs that night
The parens were green, Fernando
They were blinking there for you and me
For programming, Fernando
Though I never thought we could code
There's no brace left
If I hade to do the same again
I would, my geek, Fernando
If I hade to do the same again
I would, my geek, Fernando

Now we're old and geek Fernando
And since many programs I have done for live
Can you hear the beeps Fernando?
Do you still recall what the Meta dot means?
I can see it in your eyes
How proud you were to write macros

That was something in the air that night
The parens were higlights, Fernando
They were blinking over here and over there
For programming, Fernando
