NCSS 2009 Returners sing their parody of Still Alive.

These were some triumphs
We’re making a note here, huge success!
It’s hard to overstate our satisfaction

We’re the returners
We win what we must, because we can
For the good of all of you, except the tutors and James
But there’s no sense crying when you’re caught in our wake
You can keep on trying, but you’ll never get cake
When there’s programs to be run
And you feel like having fun
print "Returners will be still alive"

We’re not even angry
We know you tried so hard, but failed
Even though we did our best to save you
And pick up the pieces
After the scoreboard broke (again!)
As it crashed, it hurt because we were so happy for you

And these kills in Murder plot a beautiful line
You have been so careful and you’re doing just fine
Are you glad you got killed,
Just before our code could build?
from returners import still_alive

Go ahead and leave us
I think we’d prefer to code in C
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you
Maybe James Curran
That was a joke— HA HA, fat chance!
Anyway, this cake is great
It’s so delicious and moist

Look at me, still talking when there’s coding to do
When I typed "xyzzy" I got consumed by a grue
I’ve got some functions to write
But my syntax isn’t right
I’m just glad that I am still alive!

And believe us, we are still alive;
We’re building robots and we’re still alive;
We’re #defining and we’re still alive;
And while you.dying():
    we’ll be still alive
And if you.dead():
    we will be still alive
Returners
Still alive
