Lyrics

Wuh wuh wuh Word­Press, yo, it’s gonna impress
Your blog­ging sen­si­bil­i­ties and philoso­phies
So just throw them all out, put your hands in the air
Now wave them all about like you just don’t care

Buh buh buh before you install it, there’s things you gotta know
There’s famous peo­ple all around us, so now I gotta sound off
Their names and their games, they got a lot of knowl­edge
So lis­ten real good cause what I say is solid

There’s Lorell­e­Van Fos­sen, she’s really kind of awe­some
But she’s got a pet peeve and it makes her eyes bleed
When you put up pho­tos of your dog and cat up on your blog
WTF blog clut­ter, dawg!

There’s Eliz­a­beth Strauss, she’s totally boda­cious
Her butt is booty­li­cious, it’s look­ing super vicious
If you got some­thing to say go to her open mic night
And if you want an SOB award you gotta do it right

J J Jeff Chan­dler, yo, he’s got a lit­tle secret
He’s secretly in love with me and thinks I’m really manly
He won’t admit it, but, I’ll say he’s kind of cool
He really knows his Word­Press stuff so lis­ten up, foo’!

Now look who’s walk­ing by, Vladimir Prelo­vac
He makes the best plu­g­ins, to him we tip our hats
Now if that isn’t cool enough, check this out
He’s the author of a Word­Press book, he’s really got our backs

Then there’s Jonathan Bai­ley, he likes to twit­ter daily
140 char­ac­ters is all he needs you ladies
He knows the ins and outs of blog­ging copy­right
“Don’t plager­ize,” that’s what he’ll say and we all know he’s right

There’s Matt Mul­len­weg at MA.TT
He made the Word­Press sys­tem, he’s super­fly you see
He’s always at the Word­Camps, his face is really dreamy
Go on and check out all his talks the girls say he is steamy

Then there’s Tara Ander­son, she mar­kets for Lijit
She’s really cute and smart to boot, she really knows her –beep!-
If you need a search that will index all your stuff
Call 911-Lijit-to-Go ’cause that will be enough

Say hello to Jane Wells, you’ll see her every­where
Com­mu­nity sham­mu­nity she lays it out to bare
She’s the bea­con of light that we can turn to
Vol­un­teers and graph­ics, that’s what she’ll have us do

And then there’s David Moyer, his name rhymes with lawyer
Some­thing which he should con­sider cause he likes to talk
Duh duh duh David Moyer, he’s the lead host of Word­Cast
If you need your weekly Word­press fix then head there really fast

I’d like to shout out to the read, you know who you are
Keep doing what you’re doing and we will all go far
All the other types of blogs, sleep with one eye open
’Cause Word­Press is the bees’ knees, and all the rest is –beep!-
