Sometimes programmers just sit at home in front of their computers and write code, all by themselves...

"Coding by Myself" (Dancing with Myself, Billy Idol)
 
Eating a single hostess ho-ho
Watching a late night T-V news show
With my C-D collection
And the window's reflection
I'm coding by myself
 
When there's an if-then-else in sight
On the crowded dis-play light
Well I wait so long
For some in-spi-ra-tion
And I'm coding by myself
 
Oh coding by myself
Oh coding by myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be coding by myself
 
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me coding by myself
 
So let's shrink another link
'Cause it'll give me time to think
At the screen I glance
I'm in a constant trance
And I'll be coding by myself
 
Oh coding by myself
Oh coding by myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be coding by myself
 
[Musical Interlude]
 
If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me coding by myself
 
So let's shrink another link
'Cause it'll give me time to think
At the screen I glance
I'm in a constant trance
And I'll be coding by myself
 
Oh coding by myself
Oh coding by myself
At the screen I glance
I'm in a constant trance
At the screen I glance
I'm in a constant trance
At the screen I glance
I'm in a constant trance
 
[Scat]
 
coding by myself
coding by myself
coding by myself
coding by myself
