The White Collar Holler
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I rise up every morning at a quarter to eight
Some woman who's my wife tells me not to be late
I kiss the kids goodbye, I can't remember their names
And week after week, it's always the same
And it's Ho, boys, can't you code it, and program it right
Nothing ever happens in this life of mine
I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line
Then it's code in the data, give the keyboard a punch
Then cross-correlate and break for some lunch
Correlate, tabulate, process and screen
Program, printout, regress to the mean
And it's Ho, boys, can't you code it, and program it right
Nothing ever happens in this life of mine
I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line
Then it's home again, eat again, watch some tv
Make love to my woman at ten-fifty-three
I dream the same dream when I'm sleeping at night
I'm soaring over hills like an eagle in flight
And it's Ho, boys, can't you code it, and program it right
Nothing ever happens in this life of mine
I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line
Someday I'm gonna give up all the buttons and things
I'll punch that time clock till it can't ring
Burn up my necktie and set myself free
Cause no'one's gonna fold, bend or mutilate me
