So the inside of my head started writing a patch for that verse. This patch may be applied, with no strings attached, by anyone who does anything with the song, if they choose to use it. A large part of the original verse is preserved (particularly: rhyme intact, scansion intact). Code Monkey hang around in back room, tell you server look nice. Code Monkey offer buy you soda, bring you cup bring you ice. You say no thank you for the soda, soda spill on that; Anyway you busy with the network card, no time for chat.

A friend of mine pulled out his iTouch while I was coding the robot for our FTC team, and started playing this song. It's become my theme song; they insist on playing it whenever I'm writing code. One of them came back with some food, and said, "Don't let the code monkey eat his hamburger until the robot moves!" Awesome song! This song is amazing.
