If you attended the JCP party Monday this week and were able to hear Ken Kousen singing “Takin’ Care of Business”, you may have noticed the lyrics were different. If you are curious, here they are.
Takin’ Care of Business, Java Edition
you get up Tuesday morning
with the build system warning
get the vpn into the server
You identify the systems
check the daemons, logs and pids,
and the build, it's not lookin pretty
There's a NullPointerException
From some broken introspection
And the findbugs report
is looking gritty
so you start to get annoyed
at the hackers we employed
but they like to work at java all day
And you've been takin care of business
every day
takin care of business
every way, you been
takin care of business
it's all right
takin care of business
debugging overtime, work out.

So understand the ClassLoader
if you wanna be a coder
and the code you write runs without an error
Get an open source debugger
and you'll be a Java slugger
and all the bugs will run away in terror
People see you havin fun
Just a codin in the sun
Tell them that you like it that way
It's the bugs that we avoid
and we're all well employed
We love to work at java all day
and we be
And you've been takin care of business
every day
takin care of business
every way, you been
takin care of business
it's all right
takin care of business
debugging overtime, work out.

drum and clap break
take good care
of our business
every day
every way

repeat first verse
you get up Tuesday morning
with the build system warning
get the vpn into the server
You identify the systems
check the daemons, logs and pids,
and the build, it's not lookin pretty
There's a NullPointerException
From some broken introspection
And the findbugs report
is looking gritty
so you start to get annoyed
at the hackers we employed
but they like to work at java all day
And you've been takin care of business
every day
takin care of business
every way, you been
takin care of business
it's all right
takin care of business
debugging overtime, work out.
