Ode to Nokogiri Lyrics

(To the tune of Mighty's Sparrow's - Mr. Walker)

It’s a gem, yes

but it scraps the DOM with C-S-S
,

the URL opens easily

with the method from nokogiri

it makes me so happy

Hello Nokogiri,

I’ve come to like you dearly

Oh Nokogiri!!!

I’ve come to love you dearly

Sweet JQuery, save me from data entry

now I can use my fingers,

to nom raspberry zingers

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
