Musical Introduction:
1.
O! the day it came at last,
When the format sound was heard,
Of the penguins marching fifty million strong,
And I stayed at my keyboard,
So to hear the freedom sound,
As the clicking of my hard drive rolled along!
(CHORUS)
On, on, on, the penguins marching,
Like a black and white sea,
When they dashed away the guard,
From Bill's heavy toll gate door,
I became another Linux Penguin, free.
Musical interlude:
2.
Oh! my feeble box grew strong,
As my freedom came for sure,
When the installer gave off no warning bell,
For I knew that FUD and rent,
I no longer would endure,
When the Linux OS reached my hard drive well!
(CHORUS)
On, on, on, the penguins marching,
Like a black and white sea,
When they dashed away the guard,
From Bill's heavy toll gate door,
I became another Linux Penguin, free.
Musical interlude:
3.
So! FUD can't affect me now,
And my box I own again,
And for me computing freedom, has been won,
So we never should forget,
In our time of Lunux joy,
All about the coder boys still tapping on!
(CHORUS)
On, on, on, the penguins marching,
Like a black and white sea,
When they dashed away the guard,
From Bill's heavy toll gate door,
I became another Linux Penguin, free.

Maybe you haven't noticed the NHL standings, but the Penguins aren't marching anywhere! Except maybe Portland, Oregon!
This song relates to LINUX penguins, not hocky penguins. If you look at all my songs you will see that Linux and Conspiracy politics play a major part in what I write about.
