Title    : C Hacker in Paradise
Original : Cheeseburger in Paradise
Group    : Jimmy Buffett
Author   : Ulrika Bornetun
Intro    : I'm being forced to write X/Motif programs in Ada, need I say more?
Song     : 

          Tried to amend my low-level habits
          started learning Ada last fall
          Writing tasks with conditional rendez-vous calls
          Raising lots'a exceptions and handling them all
          But at night I had these wonderful dreams
          some kind of sensuous treat
          Not of subtypes or generics or packages
          but of function pointers and binary trees

          ( I was a...)
          C hacker in paradise
          putting my flags in an integer slice
          Using K&R to be more precise
          I'm just a C hacker in paradise

          Heard about some of our managers
          they want to do everything with a tool
          Classes you browse by clicking with the mouse
          Well it reminds me of some stuff I saw in primary school!
          But I am not so easy to break;
          When I'm at work I keep fighting back
          Not with methods, drag-and-drop or a Hypercard stack
          But with that miracle language in which I hack!

          C hacker in paradise
          writing code that's already optimized
          putting my flags in an integer slice
          I'm just a C hacker in paradise

          I write all my functions with recursion
          using implicit pointer conversion
          Back with a longjmp and then a goto
          Oh, good God almighty which way should I go

          to be a
          C hacker in paradise
          Making all operations bitwise
          Writing right onto the raw device
          Yes, I'm a
          C hacker in paradise
          I'll be a
          C hacker in paradise
          I'm just a
          C hacker in paradise

          I write all ...

          C hacker in paradise ....
