Lyrics

VERSE 1
One-two-three-four!
Keyboard access now!
Don’t need no mouse around!
Blind users need a way!
Mobility issues every day!
Two-one-one is the law!
Level A, that’s what for!
No specific timings required!
Just make it work or you’re fired!

CHORUS
Keyboard! Keyboard! Keyboard access!
Don’t lock us out! Don’t make us guess!
Keyboard! Keyboard! Keyboard access!
Equal rights, nothing less!

VERSE 2
Free-hand drawing gets a pass!
Everything else, kick its ass!
Form controls, links and buttons too!
Keyboard access coming through!
Don’t tell me I need a mouse!
Keyboard users are in the house!
No vision? No problem, friend!
Keyboard access till the end!

CHORUS
Keyboard! Keyboard! Keyboard access!
Don’t lock us out! Don’t make us guess!
Keyboard! Keyboard! Keyboard access!
Equal rights, nothing less!

BRIDGE
Enter! Tab! Spacebar!
Don’t care who you are!
Assistive tech needs a way!
To navigate what you display!

VERSE 3
Touch screens and mice are fine!
But keyboard must be in line!
Everyone deserves a shot!
At your content, believe it or not!
Criterion two-one-one!
Until your site is done!
Accessibility battle cry!
Keyboard or die!

CHORUS
Keyboard! Keyboard! Keyboard access!
Don’t lock us out! Don’t make us guess!
Keyboard! Keyboard! Keyboard access!
Equal rights, nothing less!

OUTRO
Keyboard access now!
Keyboard access now!
Keyboard access now!
Or we’re coming for you!
