(Adapted from "Rocket Man")
I got my source last night from FTP
Compiling up at 2 AM
And my system is screaming
"Undefined" at me.....
I thumb through books, I use my 'man'
It does no good, you see
'Cause I'm on System Five
And not BSD
And I think it's gonna take a lot of time
'Till named pipes bring me where I get to find
That BSD's not worth a pile of slime (oh no no noooooooo)
I'm a Socket Man.....
Socket Man....burning up the CPU for days
Socket Man....hacking through the SVID maze....
I've tried so many things, they all have failed,
It's lonely in the lab
And noone else
Has a clue....
And all the techniques I don't understand
It's just a kludge to make it work...
A Socket Man
Socket Man.....
And I think it's gonna take a lot of time
'Till named pipes bring me where I get to find
That BSD's not worth a pile of slime (oh no no noooooooo)
I'm a Socket Man......
Socket Man.....Hacking through the piles and piles of C
Socket Man.....Building up a hate for BSD....
