to attach his name to this trash

You're processing some words when your keyboard goes dead,
|
|||
|
|
Ten pages in the buffer, should've gone to BED,
|
|||
|
|
The system just crashed, but don't lose your head,
|
|||
|
|
Just B00T it, just B00T it
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You better think fast, better do what you can,
|
|||
|
|
Better read the manual or call your system man,
|
|||
|
|
Don't wanna fall behind in the race with Japan,
|
|||
|
|
So B00T IT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Get the sysop to
|
|||
|
|
B00T IT, B00T IT,
|
|||
|
|
Even though you'd rather shoot it
|
|||
|
|
Don't be up-set, it's only some glitch,
|
|||
|
|
All that you do is flip a **** switch, YEAH
|
|||
|
|
B00T IT, B00T IT,
|
|||
|
|
Get right down and reinstitute it
|
|||
|
|
Don't get excited, all is not lost,
|
|||
|
|
CP/M, Unix, or MS/DOS
|
|||
|
|
Just B00T IT, B00T IT, boot it, boot it....
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You gotta have your printout for the meeting at two,
|
|||
|
|
The system says your job's at the head of the queue
|
|||
|
|
Right then the thing DIES, but you know what to do,
|
|||
|
|
Just B00T IT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You always get so worried when the system runs slow,
|
|||
|
|
And when it finally crashes, man you feel so low
|
|||
|
|
But computers make mistakes (they're only human ya know),
|
|||
|
|
So B00T IT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Call the sysop to
|
|||
|
|
B00T IT, B00T IT,
|
|||
|
|
Go ahead and reinstitute it
|
|||
|
|
If you're not lucky grab the book off the shelf,
|
|||
|
|
But if you are, then it'll do it itself
|
|||
|
|
Just B00T IT, B00T IT,
|
|||
|
|
Then go kill the guy who screwed it!
|
|||
|
|
Operating systems are built to bounce back,
|
|||
|
|
Whether it's a Cray or a Radio Shack
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Just B00T IT! B00T IT!
