The Lyrics

1.
Come on all you penguin boys let's sing our Linux song,
Sing about the OS that will start the world along,
Sing it like we'll one day sing a hundred million strong,
As we're migrating to Linux.

(CHORUS)
Hurrah, Hurrah, The Penguin Jubilee,
Hurrah, Hurrah, The bird that sets you free,
Time we make this penguin land from sea to shining sea,
As we're migrating to Linux.

2.
It comes from Bill Gates the third his greediest grab yet,
Made that activation code so rentals he could set,
Bill wagered his comapny, It's time he lost the bet,
As we're migrating to Linux.

(CHORUS)
Hurrah, Hurrah, The Penguin Jubilee,
Hurrah, Hurrah, The bird that sets you free,
Time we make this penguin land from sea to shining sea,
As we're migrating to Linux.

3.
Yes and all the IT boys shed license audit fears,
When they see the GPL that Micro$oft FUD jeers,
Hardly will they be restained from breaking forth in cheers,
As we're migrating to Linux.

(CHORUS)
Hurrah, Hurrah, The Penguin Jubilee,
Hurrah, Hurrah, The bird that sets you free,
Time we make this penguin land from sea to shining sea,
As we're migrating to linux.

4.
Bill Gates could proudly proclaim that OS/2 was toast,
And we have to say that this FUD was a truthful boast,
Had he not forgot alas the Open coder host,
As we're migrating to Linux.

(CHORUS)
Hurrah, Hurrah, The Penguin Jubilee,
Hurrah, Hurrah, The bird that sets you free,
Time we make this penguin land from sea to shining sea,
As we're migrating to Linux.

5.
Linus Torvalds set the path for freedom and her train,
Gigabytes of Software, seven CD-ROMs in main,
Micro$oft is crashing with their rental schemes in vain,
As we're migrating to Linux.

(CHORUS)
Hurrah, Hurrah, The Penguin Jubilee,
Hurrah, Hurrah, The bird that sets you free,
Time we make this penguin land from sea to shining sea,
As we're migrating to Linux.
