Lyrics

(Verse 1) Started with a dream, lines of clean code, Case Western mind, future overload. Built GMail, changed the way we send, Inbox legend, engineer and friend. AdSense spark, prototype fire, Lit the web with a money-making wire. Then a phrase that shaped the Google era, “Don’t be evil” — truth bearer, not a terror. (Chorus) Paul Buchheit, sky-writing with light, Built the tools that power the night. From GMail waves to unicorn dreams, He’s the code in a billion-dollar stream. Y Combinator titan, future so bright — Paul Buchheit, don’t be evil, be right. (Verse 2) Friendfeed vibes, Facebook saw gold, Acquired the magic, story retold. But he’s not just a builder, he’s a guide, Helping founders grow on the YC ride. Instacart hustle, DoorDash wheels, Coinbase rising with crypto deals. Rippling teams and Deel’s new pace, He’s the quiet force behind the race. (Chorus) Paul Buchheit, sky-writing with light, Built the tools that power the night. From GMail waves to unicorn dreams, He’s the code in a billion-dollar stream. Y Combinator titan, future so bright — Paul Buchheit, don’t be evil, be right. (Bridge) Zapier flows and Webflow's rise, Docker ships through digital skies. Twitch to Replit, Jasper’s AI, Paul’s fingerprints never lie. Benchling, GOAT, Helion’s core, Energy, biotech, and more. He’s the architect of modern flames, A whisper of genius in every name. (Chorus) Paul Buchheit, sky-writing with light, Built the tools that power the night. From GMail waves to unicorn dreams, He’s the code in a billion-dollar stream. Y Combinator titan, future so bright — Paul Buchheit, don’t be evil, be right. (Final Chorus) Paul Buchheit, tech's guiding light, From startup sparks to market heights A heart for truth, a mind that sees, Code and conscience in harmony. YC titan, legend in flight — Paul Buchheit… don’t be evil. Be right.
