			The Softhead Song
		( with apologies to Monty Python )

Softettes ( in background chanting ) soft head soft head .....
Man (soon to be a softhead)
I never wanted to be a real estate agent
I always wanted to be... A SOFTHEAD!!!
[MUSIC STARTS IN MARCH TIME]
Yes, a softhead!!  The humm of the printers!!  The plotters!!  The CRTs!!
(MAN TAKES OFF CURRENT OUTER CLOTHING TO REVEAL APPLE LISA TEE SHIRT UNDERNEATH)
With my best girls by my side,  [ENTER softettes]
we'd sing.  Sing.  Sing.

Softhead:
Oh, I am a softhead and I'm alright, I sleep all day and I work all night

CHORUS: (Sung by the Softettes)
He is a softhead and he's alright, he sleeps all day and he works all night

Softhead:
I write clean code, from top on down, all editted in Electric C.
On Wednesday nights I back my disks, and have buttered scones for tea

Softettes:
He writes clean code, fromtop on down, all editted in Electric C.
On Wednesday nights he backs his disks. and has buttered scones for tea

CHORUS

Softhead:
I write tight code, from bottom on up, with my flowchart template of course 
I edit my code with TECO, and throw away the source 

Softettes:
He writes tight code, from bottom on up, with his flowchart template of course
He edits his code with TECO, and throws away the source ( ?????? )

[Confused Softettes regroup quickly for CHORUS]

Softhead:
I write tight code, with never a comment, all in assembly  
I wish I could be a FORTRAN hack , just like my dear old daddy.

Softettes:
He writes tight code, with never a comment
FORTRAN HACK!????? What kind of a...
(Softettes leave in disgust) .  The softhead finishes with the last chourus.
The softettes come back and demand he return his Djikstra' fan club card.
Everyone leaves.
