Language Blues

[Brian Rapp]

I've got this ancient language
Predestined to confuse
And it seems they've left me
Hardly any clues
I've got the blues
The knowin' Minoan blues

I've got this lovely language
That no one wants to use
But it's got signs for zeros
As well as ones and twos
I've got the blues
The sighin' Mayan blues

I've got this groovy language
I've got a funky muse
But it's hard to riff with
Long names that start with Q's
I've got the blues
The Aztec jazz tech blues

I've got this markup language
It's weirder than Peru's
Because it auto-highlights
Everyone's woo-woos
I've got the blues
The blinkin' Incan blues

I've got this great new language
To tell the world the news
But I just can't translate
Japanese haikus
I've got the blues
The Esperanto Blues

I've got this universal language
To talk to alien crews
But they went and ate me
I guess this means I lose
I've got the blues
The Mathematico blues
