Parody of "Life, in a Nutshell" by Barenaked Ladies
D G/F# G : ||
D A
When I started out
Bm G
I used to use it only for my CGIs
Now I've no doubt
And I'm finally beginning now to realize
It's like a knife, and I'm like a Swiss
When we're solving problems we never miss, and still
It's never enough, it's never enough
F#
It's never enough, but
Bridge:
G A D G/F# G
I don't tend to worry about what other language people say
And I'm learning that there is a whole lot more than just one way
Call me crazy, but it really doesn't matter
Bm A6
All that matters to me is Perl
Chorus:
D G/F# G A Bm
Perl 5, in a nutshell
A6 G A D G/F# G
No way is the right way to do it
A Bm A6
It's so easy to write, but
G A Bm A6 G#m7 G
It's not always easy to read
Bm A6 G#m7 G
To read
I memorized all the special variables there in the docs
I ruined my eyes reading every manpage on my colo box
I write a module, I write a test
When I code extremely I don't get stressed and still
It's never enough, it's never enough
No, it's never enough, so
Bridge
Chorus
Em A
Well I fell down
Bm G
With nothing there to catch me from falling
Em A
Then Perl came 'round
D D/C# G/B A7sus G
And only its eclecticness stopped me from losing my job, now
A
I'm OK
That's why
Chorus
Bridge
