The Lyrics

Back in 05, the InvestorGeeks blog.
Using WordPress, it was a memory hog.
Day jobbing .NET. Life was hard.
Now I’m growing an empire… and living it large.

[chorus]
WordPress. With a capital P.
Mad themes, CPTs since version 3.
The best CMS, it will make your cream.
Blogging my life. Living the dream.

You say Drupal. So uncool.
I’d rock Twenty Ten if I wanted to go old school.
I used to use the Kubrick theme. LEGIT.
One menu, a sidebar, and that was it.

Back then, I was hacking the core.
Like going to war. But not anymore.
Another upgrade just broke my shit.
Good thing I learned plugins or I’d have quit.

[chorus]
WordPress. With a capital P.
Mad themes, CPTs since version 3.
The best CMS, it will make your cream.
Blogging my life. Living the dream.

I’m spitting for sages.
You haven’t updated in ages.
Your menu’s still using wp_list_pages.
Don’t have the haters.

Hate the obfuscators.
The code dictators. The weak creators.
Me, I want the code to be free.
I’m a GPL crusader and always will be.

[chorus]
WordPress. With a capital P.
Mad themes, CPTs since version 3.
The best CMS, it will make your cream.
Blogging my life. Living the dream.

My rhymes will leave you sated,
while yours so bad they been deprecated.
Since 2.9, I’m keeping the rhyme
as I read below the more line.

I make my girl weep
when I do_action beneath the sheets.
I clean all my inputs with stripslashes_deep().
Not suvblte.

WordPress hits you over your head.
Fills you with the spirit of Matt Mullenweg.
Not bitter. Never a quitter.
I follow PhotoMatt’s dinners on Twitter.

[chorus]
WordPress. With a capital P.
Mad themes, CPTs since version 3.
The best CMS, it will make your cream.
Blogging my life. Living the dream.

[chorus]
WordPress. With a capital P.
Mad themes, CPTs since version 3.
The best CMS, it will make your cream.
Blogging my life. Living the dream.
