Work Your Magic

Many thanks for the transcription of Work_your_Magic.mp3 by Craig Martin.

I've found later another transcription at ZDNet UK, Work Your Magic is 9 in the Top 20 It Anthems.

When the deadline's coming at you
And you've got no place to run
'Cause your strategic application
Isn't close to getting done

Man, you're so far over budget
It's like you're drowning in the sea
To take off from there
You need to declare
An application development emergency

It's time to work your Magic
Time for table-driven RAD
Yeah, it's time to work your Magic
Fastest tool you've ever had
Now it's time to work your Magic
Connects with any database
When it's time to work your Magic
That's the way you'll take first place

Say you're working on a project
That's gotta run on all of them
Unix, NT, AS/400
Digital and IBM

And you know that just to port
It's gonna take eternity
Necause the truth is that
You're really staring at
An application development emergency

Oh, it's time to work your Magic
Rapid portability
Oh it's time to work your Magic
'Cause it's totally code-free
Yeah, it's time to work your Magic
The engine runs on anything
So come on and work your Magic
It's the star of programming

You know it's Magic, Magic, Magic

If you need an application
For deployment on the net
Every minute it's not ready
Is enough to make you sweat

And when it's run by an end-user
She nods her head distastefully
Because she's gonna checks
You didn't meet her specs
It's application development emergency

It's time to work your Magic
From LA to Tokyo
Everybody's working Magic
The most prolific way to go
So come on and work your Magic
For real productivity

Everybody work your Magic
And prevent emergencies
Everybody work your Magic
And prevent emergencies
