The Architect's Song

By The Resident Architect on February 8, 2010 11:10 PM

This is a revised lyrics of the song "I Will Survive" rewritten to describe some of the funny moments an architect faces in his career that was shared to me by my good friend "small mike" in Facebook. If you're an architect, you will definitely relate to the lyrics of this song. If someone out there knows the author of the lyrics to this song, please do tell us so we can properly credit him for this.

Now, to the tune of "I Will Survive", let's all sing The Architect's Song!

This of course only shows the tip of the iceberg in the kinds of troubles an architect faces in his career, but this does show, in a very funny way, that architects are real survivors in their own right.

If you can't see the image above, see the text below for the lyrics.

The song goes like this:

The Architect's Song

(to the tune of I Will Survive)

At first I was afraid. I was petrified.

Thinking I could not design what you had specified. But then I'd spent too many years redrawing what you just built wrong. And I grew strong. And I learned how to get along. And now you're back. With more floor space. I just walked in to find you here with that QS look upon your face. I should have changed that stupid plan. I should have made you pay that fee. If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me. Oh go now go. Delete that door. Move the wall around now you don't wanna pay for it anymore. Were you not the one who tried to break me with your endless RFI's. Did you think I'd crumble. Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I

I will survive...
