To Every Op (Beep, Beep, Beep)

[bnewman]

A time for each instruction in the program...

lyrics by Benjamin Newman

ttto: "Turn, Turn, Turn" by Pete Seeger, after Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

 

/ G C G D / G D C G D / Bm - C D / G ... /

 

To every op — (beep, beep, beep)

There is a cycle — (beep, beep, beep)

And a time for each instruction in the program

 

/ D - G - / / / C - D - / G ... /

 

A time to put, a time to get

A time to push, a time to pop

A time to poke, a time to peek

A time to write, a time to read

 

To every op...

 

A time to inc, a time to dec

A time to add, a time to subtract

A time to cons, a time to append

A time to car, a time to cdr

 

To every op...

 

A time to or, a time to and

A time to for, a time to next

A time to while, a time to until

A time to if, then a time to else

 

To every op...

 

A time to begin, a time to end

A time to def, a time to undef

A time to new, a time to dispose

A time to open, a time to close
