“They’re looking for a programmer,” my buddy said one day

“‘Course, the only thing that’s better than the perks you get’s the pay,

But it does mean work in start-up” I said “Get out of my way!”

And the deadline is looming now

[Chorus]

I’ve been working 12 hour days now, since we begun

I’ve been working 12 hour days now, we’re almost done

I’ve been working 12 hour days and hey it almost runs

And the demo is working now

There is a product being built, it’s lots of lines of code

We’re hoping and we’re praying that it won’t crash and explode

The effort’s astronomical, the show is on the road

And the demo is working now

We’ve written all our test suites and we hacked until they passed

And every bug that now we find – we’re sure that it’s the last

It’s looking so impressive that we’re sure it’s unsurpassed

And the demo is working now

I’m drinking lots of coffee so I can keep working late

I’m eating lots of calories and gaining lots of weight

But though I’m dead and tired, I’m really feeling great

‘Cause the demo is working now

I’ve written all my code and now my heart is in my throat

And if it doesn’t work right, there’s a chance that they won’t note

We’re learning all the speaking parts ‘till we know them by rote

And the demo is working now

We mean to build this product to be used throught the ‘verse

And though the demo is OK, it wasn’t too diverse

So now there’s bugs from users and we fix them and we curse

Though the demo is working now
