I Owe My Career to Tim Berners-Lee

Sung to the tune of “Lord Won’t You Buy Me a Mercedes Benz” by Janis Joplin

This is a song of great financial import.

I owe my career to Tim-Berners Lee
The man who invented HTTP
He gave it away, but it’s spelled big bucks for me
Oh, I owe my career to Tim Berners-Lee

I owe my career to Mr. Larry Wall
If it wasn’t for Perl, I’d have no job at all
He built a new language and I answered his call
Yes, I owe my career to Mr. Larry Wall

I owe my career to Steve Wozniak
If not for his computer, I’d never learned to hack
He made me a geek and I never looked back
Oh, I owe my career to Steve Wozniak
