Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From Paris courts to Washington halls
Tax codes written on legal walls
French housing benefits, complex and deep
Social security rules that make lawyers weep
But Catala stepped in with literate code
Made statutes sing in programmer mode
Section one-two-one of Internal Revenue
Now verified clean, implementation true

[Chorus]
Where it's useful already, making laws come alive
Data retention policies where conditionals thrive
Breach notification deadlines, statute-derived and clear
Catala bridges the gap between legal text we revere
Formal languages working where regulations meet
Management controls dancing to a verified beat

[Verse 2]
Data retention speaks in temporal rules
If-then conditions like logical jewels
Keep records seven years for financial trace
Delete personal data at the regulated pace
The literate model shows us the way
Legal text and code in perfect display
When statutes have structure, Catala shines
Translating law into executable lines

[Chorus]
Where it's useful already, making laws come alive
Data retention policies where conditionals thrive
Breach notification deadlines, statute-derived and clear
Catala bridges the gap between legal text we revere
Formal languages working where regulations meet
Management controls dancing to a verified beat

[Bridge]
Any control requirement born from regulatory text
Conditional logic flowing, temporal rules come next
French tax formalization showed us the proof
Software matches statute, verified truth
Management controls with deadline pressure
Catala transforms law into coded treasure

[Chorus]
Where it's useful already, making laws come alive
Data retention policies where conditionals thrive
Breach notification deadlines, statute-derived and clear
Catala bridges the gap between legal text we revere
Formal languages working where regulations meet
Management controls dancing to a verified beat

[Outro]
From housing benefits to breach alert calls
Catala stands ready when regulation calls
Where statute meets software, precision takes flight
Formal languages making management controls right
