Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU Band!

It was thirteen years ago today
Col. Torvalds let the source away.
We've been going in and out of drives
but we guarantee to raise uptimes.

So may I introduce to you
the hack you've known for all these years
Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU Band!

We're Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU Band,
we hope you will enjoy the code.
Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU Band,
just hack and let the evening go!

Col. Torvalds' Linux
Col. Torvalds' Linux
Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU Band!

It's wonderful to post here,
it's certainly no troll.
You're such a loyal userbase,
we'd like to merge your code with us,
we'd love to grep your /home.

I don't really want to freeze the code,
but I thought you might like to know
this release is going to fix the root
and we want you all to patch for good.

So let me introduce to you
the one and only Billy's fear
Col. Torvalds' Linux slash GNU Band!
