lyrics

1980s programming class
Backpacks
Trapper Keepers

Those little squishy stickers of unicorns

We were all learning how to love one another
and program
basically
in BASIC

It was the 1980s
programming scene
back when love was pure
and not obscene

So I'm sitting in my class
and I got my eye on this lass
So I wrote this little program
to win her

And it reads
10 PRINT I LOVE YOU
and
20 GOTO 10

I love you
I love you
I love you

And she types
10 PRINT I HATE YOU
and
20 GOTO HELL

Hmmm
Well I think I heard the class bell

It was a 1980s programming scene
and I think I can see through
her smokescreen

But she's playing
quite coy
with this little programmer boy
But I wrote this little program
to win her

And it reads
10 PRINT I LOVE YOU
and
20 GOTO 10

I love you
I love you
I love you

Oh she types
10 PRINT NOT QUITE YET
and
20 GOTO HECK

Well I think that's
better yet

This might be an infinite loop
This might be an infinite loop
Oh yeah
This might be an infinite loop
might be an infinite loop

Oh I
love you
Oh I
love you

Array pointer out of bounds
memory address
not found
I said I'd wait for you
but I am caught in an infinite loop

Ctrl-C Break

It was the 1980s
programming scene
with dot matrix and fax machine

But now I found my programmer love
and with a comment up above.
We wrote this little program together

And it reads
10 PRINT I LOVE YOU
and
20 GOTO 10

I love you
I love you
I love you

Yes it reads
10 PRINT I LOVE YOU
and
20 GOTO 10

Oh
GOTO 10
GOTO 10
GOTO 10
