The Hacker's Song
|
|||
|
|
by Dave Touretzky and Don Libes
|
|||
|
|
(with no apologies whatsoever to Monty Python)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm a hacker and I'm okay.
|
|||
|
|
I work all night and I sleep all day.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote some hacks in APL,
|
|||
|
|
each on a single line.
|
|||
|
|
They're mutually recursive,
|
|||
|
|
and run in n-squared time!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus:)
|
|||
|
|
Oh, he's a hacker and he's okay.
|
|||
|
|
He works all night and he sleeps all day.
|
|||
|
|
I'm a hacker and I'm okay.
|
|||
|
|
I work all night and I sleep all day.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote two hacks in MACRO,
|
|||
|
|
with UUOs galore.
|
|||
|
|
One plays Nim on the console lights,
|
|||
|
|
while the other zeros core!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote a hack in Snobol,
|
|||
|
|
with FORTRAN subroutines,
|
|||
|
|
It spits out trashy stories,
|
|||
|
|
for ladies' magazines!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote some hacks in InterLisp,
|
|||
|
|
they barely fit in core.
|
|||
|
|
The swapper thrashed its guts out,
|
|||
|
|
So now it runs no more.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote a hack in microcode,
|
|||
|
|
with a goto on each line,
|
|||
|
|
it runs as fast as Superman,
|
|||
|
|
but not quite every time!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote some hacks in Ada,
|
|||
|
|
and still can't run them yet,
|
|||
|
|
Do you suppose we'll see that day?
|
|||
|
|
On it, I wouldn't bet!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote a hack for UNIX
|
|||
|
|
While it was still in vogue.
|
|||
|
|
It knows the tricks to pacman,
|
|||
|
|
and plays mean games of rogue!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote some hacks, distributed,
|
|||
|
|
across our neat gateway.
|
|||
|
|
Each one of its 10 functions
|
|||
|
|
kills RIG in a different way!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote some hacks in Mlisp,
|
|||
|
|
to edit files of root.
|
|||
|
|
It writes them back no-execute,
|
|||
|
|
And now it won't reboot!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote some hacks to manage jobs
|
|||
|
|
with PLITS and IPC.
|
|||
|
|
Its very first activity,
|
|||
|
|
was firing the faculty!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote some hacks with P and V
|
|||
|
|
to synchronize my life.
|
|||
|
|
Now I can't use the bathroom,
|
|||
|
|
I'm deadlocked with my wife!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote a hack (in theory),
|
|||
|
|
it may not ever halt.
|
|||
|
|
But if it does, just watch out...
|
|||
|
|
[Fatal Error: Infinite Page Fault]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
(chorus)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wrote a hack with hough transforms
|
|||
|
|
for our folks at DoD.
|
|||
|
|
It'll guide their fancy missiles,
|
|||
|
|
to Washington, D.C.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm a hacker and I'm okay,
|
|||
|
|
I work all night and I sleep all day.
|
|||
|
|
I'll have a system of my own someday,
|
|||
|
|
that'll run my code in a hacked-up way.
