Young dev, there’s no need to feel down, I said
Young dev, pick yourself off the ground, I said
Young dev, ’cause you’ve got no budget
There’s no need to break bank
Young man, there’s a DB you can use, I said
Young man, when you’re short on your dough you can
Use it, and I’m sure you will find
Many quirks to work around
[Chorus]
It’s fun to use MySQL
It’s fun to use MySQL
They don’t have much in the way of a database
You can bang your head on each use case
It’s fun to use MySQL
It’s fun to use MySQL
You can’t profile your code, you can’t compress
You can’t ISNULL, can only COALESCE
Young dev, are you listening to me? I said
Young dev, what will your project be? I said
Young dev, you can waste all the time
But you’ve got to know this one thing
No dev, gets to choose the DB himself
Young dev, put our pride on the shelf
And just use it, MySQL
I’m sure it can help you today
[Chorus]
Young dev, I was once in your shoes, I said
I was down and out with the blues, I felt
No man cared if I were on time
I felt the whole world was so jive
That’s when someone came up to me and said
“Young dev, download it, it is free
It’s a database called MySQL
It can store all your data quite well”
[Chorus]
MySQL, it’s fun to use
MySQL
Young dev, young dev, are you listening to me?
Young dev, what will your project be?
MySQL, it’s fun to use
MySQL
No dev, no dev gets to choose the DB himself
Young dev, young dev, put our pride on the shelf
MySQL, it’s fun to use
MySQL
Young dev, young dev, I was once in your shoes
Young dev, young dev, I was down with a bruise
MySQL, it’s fun to use
MySQL
