When I find myself with system trouble,
Library incompatibilities,
There are words of wisdom, BSD.
And in my hour of darkness, there is one CVS tree
make update in /usr/src and download BSD.

BSD, BSD, BSD, BSD,
Whispered words of wisdom,
«Just use BSD.»

And for the broken NT servers, leaking kernel memory,
There will be an answer, installing BSD
For though there is GNU Parted, resizing Linux directories,
You only need one disklabel, for running BSD.

BSD, BSD, BSD, BSD,
Whispered words of wisdom,
«Just use BSD.»

And when the comms room’s darkened, LEDs still shine on me,
UPSed until tomorrow, up 2 years on BSD.
I wake up to the sound of servers, with fans humming merrily,
Crunching starry wisdom, with SETI and BSD

BSD, BSD, BSD yeah BSD
Solaris is no answer, it’s not a BSD
BSD, BSD, BSD yeah BSD
Whisper words of wisdom,
«Just use BSD».
