[Intro] [boots stomping Hands clapping in rhythm] (Heave ho!) you savvy souls Raise your mugs and nodes We sail by light of laptop screens And half-compiled code [Verse 1] We shipped at dawn on a broken branch "Just one more merge " they cried The test suite sank like a cannonball As the CI flames climbed high We patched with duct-taped scripts and prayers Logged in from bunk and bar "Who pushed to main?" the captain roared And every dev stared at the stars (not me!) [Chorus] Oh sing You clever code To the bots that share the load Through the storms of failing builds They help us bear the road From tangled hacks and midnight debts To charts of data wide Raise a cheer for the tireless crew Of the clever code beside (hey!) (Heave ho for the clever code!) [Verse 2] We charted seas of numbers deep Each wave a rolling graph The product folks cried "Ship it fast!" The backlog only laughed An AI swore "I’ve got your back I’ll fix it in a blink" It rewrote half the billing stack And bought us all a drink (whoops!) [Chorus] Oh sing You clever code To the bots that share the load Through the squalls of subtle bugs They keep our ship afloat From flakey specs and race conditions To logs that flood like tide Raise a cheer for the faithful crew Of the clever code beside (hey!) (Heave ho for the clever code!) [Bridge] We begged for faster builds My friends Less waiting on that bar "For every minute lost " we cried "We’ll bill you by the jar!" The bots replied "We’ll cache your dreams We’ll parallel your pain" Then staged a little mutiny And auto-merged again (oh no!) [Chorus] Oh sing You clever code To the bots that share the load Through the nights of cursed deploys They guide us home to port From "works for me" and rubber ducks To dashboards shining bright Raise a roar for the rowdy crew Of the clever code in sight (hey!) (Heave ho for the clever code!) [Outro] [whistles and banjo reel speeding up] So here’s to ships of steel and scripts To bugs we’ve bravely fought To every line that saved our hides By something clever taught Last round of claps Last stomping beat We laugh and slam our ale For humans and their cheeky kin Who help us hack and sail—HA!
