GUI Man (to the tune of Piano Man) It's two PM on a Thursday The regular crowd shuffles in There's an intern sitting next to me By the laptop that he can't log in He says, "Hey, can you build me a message tree? I'm not really sure how it's done. It's supposed to be quick because Delphi's so slick So I'd like to see this thing run." La la la, de de da La la, de de da da da Chorus: Build us a tree, you're the GUI man Build us a tree today Well, we're all in this room for a meeting now And you can control the display... Now Mike in the back is a friend of mine Who knows about NLP And he tries to refuse when you ask him for clues But someday he'll have to agree. He says, "We really should port this over," As the smile runs away from his face, "All the stuff that you need is in DPF, Not these hacks that we wrote in its place." Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da da Now Ralph is a really good cluebearer Who helps us with OOP And he's talkin with Laura, who's sayin' that more-a -less we've killed off all DCE. And the admins are videotaping this, And the doc team is drinking their Coke The QA group is watching me quietly As they're hoping the program's not broke... Chorus It's a pretty good crowd for a Thursday And the demo is going quite well The most shocking of all is no questions from Paul And no comments about XML. CLARIT Miner looks like a carnival Colored boxes as bright as the sun When I shut down the tree, they're all staring at me, Saying "Can we release version one?" Oh, la la la, de de da La la, de de da da da Chorus
