Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When systems crash and servers smoke
Your data vanished like a ghost
The phones stop ringing, screens go black
How quickly can you bounce back?
Business continuity's your shield
A roadmap when the chaos yields
Planning now for darker days
When Murphy's Law decides to play

[Chorus]
B-C-P, that's the key
Backup, Backup, can't you see
Alternate sites and recovery
Keep the heartbeat strong and free
R-T-O, time to know
How fast your systems need to flow
R-P-O, data's glow
How much loss can you let go?

[Verse 2]
Recovery Time Objective sets
The clock for how long darkness gets
Recovery Point's the data line
How far back is still fine?
Map your critical processes out
Know what you can't live without
Payroll, customer service calls
Which dominos would make you fall?

[Chorus]
B-C-P, that's the key
Backup, Backup, can't you see
Alternate sites and recovery
Keep the heartbeat strong and free
R-T-O, time to know
How fast your systems need to flow
R-P-O, data's glow
How much loss can you let go?

[Bridge]
Hot sites running parallel
Cold sites cheaper, slower spell
Warm sites somewhere in between
Cloud backup keeps data clean
Test your plan, don't just assume
Practice drills in every room
Communication trees unfold
Who calls whom when things go cold?

[Verse 3]
Document every single step
Who does what when systems prep
Vendor contacts, hardware lists
Nothing important should be missed
Train your team before the storm
Make disaster response the norm
Regular reviews keep plans tight
Ready for the longest night

[Final Chorus]
B-C-P, that's the key
Backup, Backup, can't you see
Alternate sites and recovery
Keep the heartbeat strong and free
Plan today for tomorrow's test
When continuity proves your best
R-T-O and R-P-O
Now you're ready, good to go!
