Dreck for Shekels

A song parody of Money for Nothin’ by Dire Straits

Dreck for Shekels

(sung to the tune of Money for Nothin’)

Now look at them tech bros that’s the way you do it You play the keyboard on a new PC That ain’t workin’, man there’s nothin’ to it Shekels for nothin’ and your dreck for free

Now that ain’t workin’, man there’s nothin’ to it They don’t labor or lift a thumb Never get a blister, codin’ with them fingers Lemme tell ya mister not so dumb

I shoulda learned to play the keyboard I shoulda learned to code Pascal Look at that mama she got it stickin’ in the camera Man, I coulda had that gal And he’s up there, what’s that? He’s tweetin’ noises? Bangin’ on his smart phone like a chimpanzee No, that ain’t workin’, man there’s nothin’ to it Get your shekels for nothin’ get your dreck for free

[Howling]

Listen here now That ain’t workin’, man there’s nothin’ to it Play the keyboard on that new PC That ain’t workin’, man there’s nothin’ to it Shekels for nothin’ and your dreck for free Shekels for nothin’ and your dreck for free Get your shekels for nothin’ and your dreck for free

Look at that, look at that Get your shekels for nothin’ (I want a, I want a) And your dreck for free (I want a new PC) Get your shekels for nothin’ (I want a, I want a) And your dreck for free (I want a new PC)
