Blog / A Couple of New Christmas Carols

Last year I wrote a fun little version of The Night Before Christmas. This year I thought to continue that tradition with some reworked Christmas carols.

To the tune of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

Have yourself a merry little Frag war
Let your ping be fast
From now on that traceroute will be finished right
Have yourself a merry little Frag war
May your traffic flow
From now on those packets won’t be dropped I know
Here I am as the Administrator, Happy privileges I adore
Privileges that are dear to me
Will be used by me once more
Through the years the servers will keep running
If I will allow
Maybe I’ll restart them for a kick some how
And refill my glass of Rum and Eggnog now.

To the tune of Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

The Servers better stay up, they better not crash
they better not glitch, I’m telling you why
An intern’s on the Helpdesk tonight.

He’s goofing around, and doing it twice
Might even be able to do his job right
Interns on the Helpdesk, An intern’s on the Helpdesk tonight.

He’s not sure if it’s sleeping
it could be on or off
The hard drive could be bad or good
So be good for goodness sake.

The Servers better stay up, they better not crash
they better not glitch, I’m telling you why
An Intern runs the Helpdesk tonight
Interns on the Helpdesk, An Interns on the Helpdesk tonight!

And now, a traditional quote from Shakespeare to wrap this up with a bow, this one from Richard II: “Lay aside life-harming heaviness, And entertain a cheerful disposition.”
