You're processing some words when your keyboard goes dead, Ten Pages in the
|
|||
|
|
buffer, should have gone to bed, The system just crashed, but don't lose your
|
|||
|
|
head, Just BOOT IT, just BOOT IT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Better think fast, better do what you can, Read the manual, or call your
|
|||
|
|
system man, Don't want to fall behind in the race with Japan, So BOOT IT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Get the system manager to
|
|||
|
|
BOOT IT, BOOT IT,
|
|||
|
|
Even though you'd rather shoot it, Don't be upset, it's only some glitch, All
|
|||
|
|
that you do is flipa little switch,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
BOOT IT, BOOT IT,
|
|||
|
|
Get right down and restitute it. Don't get excited, all is not lost,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CP/M, UNIX or MS/DOS
|
|||
|
|
Just BOOT IT, boot it, boot it, boot it. . .
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You gotta have your printout for the meeting at two, The system says your
|
|||
|
|
jobs at the head of the queue, Right then the thing dies but you know what to
|
|||
|
|
do, BOOT 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
|
|||
|
|
you know) So BOOT IT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Call the local guru to
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
BOOT IT, BOOT IT,
|
|||
|
|
Go ahead re-insititue it. If you're not lucky, get the book off the shelf,
|
|||
|
|
But if you are, it'll do itself.
|
|||
|
|
BOOT IT, BOOT IT,
|
|||
|
|
Then go find the guy who screwed it! Operating systems are built to bounce
|
|||
|
|
back, Whether it's a Cray or a Radio Shack,
|
|||
|
|
BOOT IT, BOOT IT.
