(With respect and apologies to the late, great Jimmie Rodgers)

I had a friend named Developer Jess
Who used to code for iOS
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
His app got locked out Sunday
Compete with Apple and they'll take you down

He has to jailbreak now, he has to jailbreak now
I told him once or twice
That those app store rules aren't fair or nice
He has to jailbreak now

He wrote a game for poker
Pinochle, Whist and Euchre
But that Fortnite was his greatest game
Now he's downtown in court
Debating about his port
The judge done said that Apple's doing fine

He has to jailbreak now, he has to jailbreak now
I told him once or twice
That those app store rules aren't fair or nice
He has to jailbreak now

I wrote apps last Tuesday
For my child named Susie
Parent control for all the kids around
We started to make some money
Then they Sherlocked me it's not funny
They wrote Screen Time and then they took us down

We have to jailbreak now, we have to jailbreak now
I told Apple right to its face
We didn't like to see this place
We have to jailbreak now
