Finnegan the Folk Hero |
In a field of corn is a master’s shoe |
Click the master’s shoe, there’s a blue-tailed fly |
Click a blind man’s foot, see a horse’s tail |
It’s down to Finnegan, the folk hero of HTML |
This is the tale of a clever sod |
HTML was his gift from God |
He slaved all night, coding the master’s site |
Never paid a cent what was his by rights |
How the website burns since Finnegan fell! |
Let’s pray that he returns from web designer hell |
He’s the only one can fix it, fix it good and well |
Finnegan, the folk hero of HTML |
He could stream Quicktime, he could code in Flash |
He could make your icons dance with Java, then empty out your trash |
But Finnegan’s dead, rotted clean away |
Because the bastard master never gave him any pay |
How the bastard yells cos the website’s down |
When he taps his URLs all he gets is '404 Not Found' |
By the coffee machine, screaming Finnegan’s name |
But the folk hero is dead and there is no-one left to blame |
We’ve lost our shirts now Finnegan’s gone |
If he had got his just deserts, we could’ve been cracking merrily on |
Cos there was just one man could fix it, fix it good and well |
That’s Finnegan, the folk hero of HTML |
When the web is quiet on a moonlit night |
There is phantom code on the master’s site |
Some say it’s spiders or a bot from hell |
Like hell! |
It’s Finnegan, the folk hero of HTML |
