IT GIRL

I really enjoy writing songs.  Especially when they come to me easily. Which isn't always the case.  This song was fun to write and record because it all flowed with ease.  Although the song is fictional, there are many snap shots of my experiences as an employee and DBA in an IT department.  The lyrics below are preserved exactly how I write them in my word or notes document.  Please see song/video below.

IT Girl
 
{Chorus}
I’m in love with an IT girl (Love - Love)
I’m in love with an IT girl (Love - Love)
I’m in love with an IT girl (Love - Love)
I’m in love with an IT – IT Girl
 
{Verse 1}
So I’m a DBA and databases are my world
Until I met a girl -  She is an app developer.
See I knew from the start  - this programmer stole my heart
Used to favor VB – now I’m digging C – sharp.
I love her source code, so efficient – good code.
She even flipped the script – converted to Java script.
My head is in the cloud, like her applications are
Instead of Diamonds and Pearls, she likes Python and Perl.

{Pre-Hook}
In the studio – I’m talking BIDs -that is
With my SSIS and her IP address - we fell in love.
From QA to Test all-the-way-to-Prod.
Yeah - I’m Ok with her – she’s my de-ve-lop-er.
 
{Chorus}
 
{Verse 2}
So as her DBA – I did suggest an upgrade
SQL Server 16 – not that other database
She agreed – got approved -from the upper management
Databases mi-grated – it was money well spent.
On deployment night – RFC looked tight
But to add to this story – there was not enough storage.
I’m Killa DBA – and that’s good for us both
‘cause before we got started   - I enabled auto growth!
 
{Pre-Hook}
In the studio – I’m talking BIDs -that is
With my SSIS and her IP address - we fell in love.
From QA to Test all-the-way-to-Prod.
Yeah - I’m Ok with her – she’s my de-ve-lop-er.
 
{Chorus}
  
{Rap}
 <pause> Her .NET Framework –yeah- is all that
From mobile –to- desktops -all the way to Web apps.
I like the way she moves – in and out of code-it’s
like her name was -Trinity Straight out of Matrix Reloaded.
Huh – Better yet – she’s an architect.
You can tell by her Data-flow analysis
She bang slash user slash local bin Perl
(#!/usr/local/bin/perl)
I love with her brain – my IT Girl.
