The PowerBuilder Song
by Chris Pollach
(sing to "Let it Be" (The Beatles))
When I find my application in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write it in
PB!"
As the deadline fast approaches,
And defects are all I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write it in
PB!"
Write it in PB, write it in PB,
Write it in PB, oh, write it in PB.
ALGOL is so dead and buried,
Write it in
PB!
I used to write a lot of COBOL,
For character devices it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for Windows graphics:
Write it in
PB!
If you've just spent nearly 30 hours
Debugging some .NET assembly,
Soon you will be glad to:
Write it in
PB!
Write it in PB, write it in PB,
Write it in PB, oh, write it in PB.
Only wimps use BASIC:
Write it in
PB!
Write it in PB, write it in PB,
Write it in PB, oh, write it in PB.
DELPHI won't quite cut it.
Write it in
PB!
{ Guitar Solo }
Write it in PB, write it in PB,
Write it in PB, oh, write it in PB.
Don't even mention JAVA:
Write it in
PB!
And when the screen is getting fuzzy,
And the editor is really bugging me.
I'm sick of binary ones and zeros,
Write it in
PB!
Thousands of people use TCP/IP
IPV6 is the one for me.
I hate the word PROCEDURE:
Write it in
PB!
Write it in PB, write it in PB,
Write it in PB, oh, write it in PB.
PL-1 is so 1980's:
Write it in
PB!
Write it in PB, write it in PB,
Write it in PB, oh, write it in PB.
Supercharge it with APPEON:
Write it in
P....
B....!
enjoy ... Chris
(I bet you can't stop singing this one and emailing your PowerBuilder friends a copy!)
