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
LOGO's dead and buried
Write in C

I used to write a lot of FORTRAN
For science it worked flawlessly
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C

If you've just spent nearly 30 hours
Debugging some assembly
Soon you will be glad to
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

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