The Old School Code

Intro

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Verse 1

Python whispers in the dark

Indentation leaves a mark

I been writing COBOL years

Spent my whole career

Pre-Chorus

You can keep your fancy scripts

And your debugging trips

I'll take seventy-two columns wide

Got nothing left to hide

Chorus

COBOL does it cleaner

Runs a whole lot leaner

Faster than your Python

Since the day I started writin'

COBOL does it smoother

You just gotta choose her

Every line is solid gold

That's the story that I'm told

Verse 2

You say Python's elegant

I say it's irrelevant

When the data's on the line

COBOL stands the test of time

Pre-Chorus

No more chasing libraries

No more contraries

Just a language built to last

Running faster than the past

Chorus

COBOL does it cleaner

Runs a whole lot leaner

Faster than your Python

Since the day I started writin'

COBOL does it smoother

You just gotta choose her

Every line is solid gold

That's the story that I'm told

Bridge

And now the end is near

But COBOL's still right here

I faced the database

And did it my own way

Chorus

COBOL does it cleaner

Runs a whole lot leaner

Faster than your Python

Since the day I started writin'

COBOL does it smoother

You just gotta choose her

Every line is solid gold

That's the story that I'm told

Outro

Yeah

That's the story that I'm told
