Stand by your DOS (Stand by your man) =================== Sometimes it's hard not being trendy, Hangin' on to things long dead and gone. But DOS is still real trusty Even though it may be rusty Living in a window from now on. Chorus: Stand by your DOS. It's been a friend you turned to Ever since that you first learned to Type F3 And use Control-C Stand by your DOS And boot up at the C prompt Those who want Windows are truly lost! Stand by your DOS! My poor DOS (My bonnie lies over the ocean) =============================== Now I'll admit DOS was quite stupid. It's cryptic and ugly to see. But it was small and un-ob-trusive. So why did they take it from me? Oh ... Chorus: Bring back, bring back, Bring back my DOS to full screen, full screen! Bring back, bring back, Bring back my DOS to full screen, full screen! I've come a long way with my PC. I've got to know Auto-exec. And now I am forced to use Windows, They've just sent my OS to heck! Oh ... Now they've put DOS in a window, It's graphically stuck in a box. Microsoft must really hate us. Upon their compilers a pox! Oh ... DOS's Lament (Oh my darlin' Clementine) ========================== On the desktop, In a window, Multitasking all the time. MS-DOS sits quite unhappy; Life is over, it's a crime. With no power, With no purpose, With no software or control. Might as well have Bought a Mac 'cause Without DOS it's rather droll I hate Windows It's confusing And it really isn't fun. There's no C prompt Or COMMAND.COM - Oh! Take me back to '81!
