Frivolous Friday, 09.18.2009: A banana boat song for programmers

[With sincere hat-tip to the multi-faceted Harry Belafonte and his hard-working Jamaican forebears...]

Deadline, Deh-eh-ehd-line
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Day, it's D-Day, it's D-Day, it's D-Day
It's D-Day, me say Deh-eh-ehd-line
Deadline come and me wan' go home

Code all night on a cupp'a joe
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Stalkin' gremlin, compiler so slow
Deadline come and me wan' go home

Come, Mister QA man, test out me revision
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Come, Mister QA man, test out me revision
Deadline come and me wan' go home

It's six file, seven file, eight file PATCH!
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Six file, seven file, eight file PATCH!
Deadline come and me wan' go home

Dead, me say Deh-eh-ehd-line
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Day, it's D-day, it's D-day, it's D-day
Deadline come and me wan' go home

The unit-test that look alright
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Hide the bug I fix tomorrow night
Deadline come and me wan' go home

It's six file, seven file, eight file PATCH!
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Six file, seven file, eight file PATCH!
Deadline come and me wan' go home

Dead, me say Deh-eh-ehd-line
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Day, it' D-Day, it's D-Day, it's D-Day
Deadline come and me wan' go home

Come, Mister QA man, test out me revision
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Come, Mister QA man, test out me revision
Deadline come and me wan' go home

Deadline, Deh-eh-ehd-line
Deadline come and me wan' go home
Day, it' D-Day, it's D-Day, it's D-Day
It's D-Day, me say Deh-eh-ehd-line
Deadline come and me wan' go home
