Mother, don't you want to change this code?

Mother, don't you think this cruft's too old?

Mother, do you think we're heading for a fall?

Ooooh aah, mother, we should change these calls.



Mother, should I send a patch upstream?

Mother, do you think it'll change a thing?

Mother, will they twist this in an unfair light?

Ooooh aah, is it just a waste of time?



Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry

Mama's gonna keep all of her customers true

Mama's gonna keep legacy crap there with you

Mama's gonna keep changes from making them sad

She won't let you flense but she might let you add

Mama's gonna keep baby growing much more



Ooooh, babe, ooooh, babe, ooooh, babe

Of course Mama's gonna help add some calls



Mother, do you think this code is stuffed? (with shit.....)

Mother, do you think it's dangerous? (a bit.....)

Mother, can we tear this API apart?

Oooh aah, mother, will you break my heart?



Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry

Mama's gonna rig all of the standards for you

Mama won't let anything foreign get through

Mama's gonna wait up till you send it, dear

Mama will subvert things not invented here

Mamma's gonna keep baby under control



Ooooh, babe, ooooh, babe, ooooh, babe

Don't say deprecation to me.



Mother, does change need to be so hard?
