Intro |
(inspired by an attempt to write a UNIX-like OS in Pascal) |
The Bell Labs UNIX System
(to the tune of The Girl from Ipanema)
by Brad Needham
Clean and swift and small and simple
The Bell Lab's UNIX system is published
And when they read it
Each one who reads it goes "aah".
Files it has -- so elementary
File names too, that move so gently
That when they read it
Each one who reads it goes "aah".
Oh, but I read it so sadly!
So much is lost in translation.
How could I code it so badly?
And how could they blame it on me?
I write in Pascal, not in C.
Clean and swift and small and simple
The Bell Labs UNIX system is published
And when I read mine, I cry
Cause it's not in C.
it's just not in C.
no it's just not in C.
