Unix Man

(to The Beatles' "Nowhere Man"



He's a real UNIX Man

Sitting in his UNIX LAN

Making all his UNIX .plans

For nobody



Knows the blocksize from 'du'

Cares not where /dev/null goes to

Isn't he a bit like you

And me?



UNIX Man, don't worry

It's the tube that's blurry

UNIX Man

The new kernel boots, just like you had planned



He's as wise as he can be

Programs in lex, yacc and C

UNIX Man, can you help me

At all?



UNIX Man, please listen

My printout is missin'

UNIX Man

The wo-o-o-orld is your 'at' command
