Data Bells

Data Bells

To Melody of: Jingle Bells

Working o'er the years

In employ of D.O.C.,

With lessons and cheers

Filling my esprit.

Data to juggle,

And challenges to meet,

What else would make such a struggle

An employment treat.

CHORUS: Data sets, data sets,

Data everywhere,

O what fun it is to crunch

And find something to share, O

Data sets, data sets,

Data everywhere,

O what fun it is to crunch

And find something to share.

So many years ago,

I happened on this job

And thought while times are slow

I'd hang out with this mob;

I knew nothing of their work,

Corrections was all new,

But with IT I could lurk,

And try to muddle through.

CHORUS: Data sets, data sets, …

The database was huge,

I'd never seen so much;

Part planned and part kluge,

It held all in its clutch.

And yet they desired more,

So I set to meet the task,

Listening as the specs did pour,

And making what they ask.

CHORUS: Data sets, data sets, …

Now that system going,

Too old, they say, to run;

Seeds I've been sowing

May now be redone.

My old friend will be tossed

To make way for the new,

Without his data I feel lost

And think I should go, too!

 

CHORUS: Data sets, data sets, …
