1.
We're surfing tonight on the Linux box.
We see something to cheer
SCO's pump 'n' dump was found out now,
As SCO execs should fear.
(CHORUS)
Many are the hearts that are happy tonight,
Now our Linux shall stay free;
SCO execs in jumpsuits of orange bright
Means penguin victory.
Surfing tonight,
Surfing tonight,
Surfing on the Linux Box.
2.
Been surfing tonight on the Linux box,
Watching SCO FUD and lie,
Their pump 'n' dump and cooked up books,
Mean SCO execs, "Good bye!"
(CHORUS)
Many are the hearts that are happy tonight,
Now our Linux shall stay free;
SCO execs in jumpsuits of orange bright
Means penguin victory.
Surfing tonight,
Surfing tonight,
Surfing on the Linux Box.
3.
We are tired of FUD 'bout the Linux box,
Soon it will all be gone,
SCO group's position is quicksand,
So FUD and lies, so long.
(CHORUS)
Many are the hearts that are happy tonight,
Now our Linux shall stay free;
SCO execs in jumpsuits of orange bright
Means penguin victory.
Surfing tonight,
Surfing tonight,
Surfing on the Linux Box.
4.
We'll see their big crash on the Linux box,
With more investor fear;
Darl's crooked corperation falls,
and they will be in tears.
(CHORUS)
Many are the hearts that are happy tonight,
Now our Linux shall stay free;
SCO execs in jumpsuits of orange bright
Means penguin victory.
Surfing tonight,
Surfing tonight,
Surfing on the Linux Box.
SURFING ON THE LINUX BOX.

Well I don't know
Why I started this fight
I got the feeling that
Something ain't right
I'm so scared in case
The judge plays it fair
And I'm wondering
If I'll lose all my hair
IBM to the left of me
Red Hat to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with SCO
Yes I am stuck in
The middle with SCO
And I'm wondering
Where it is I should go
It's so hard to keep
This egg off my face
Losing control
Yeah I'm all
Over the place
IBM to the left of me
Red Hat to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with SCO
Well we started out
With nothing
And we're proud our
stock price is so high
And ol' Microsoft came calling
Slapped us on the back and said...
Please
Please
Tried to make
Some sense off it all
But I can see
It makes no sense at all
Think that judge is going to
lock all the doors
I don't think
That I can take anymore
IBM to the left of me
Red Hat to the right
Here I am
Stuck in the middle with SCO
(Doesn't it feel great to see the tide turning at last?)
To call yourself a "DFU imitator" is an insult to DFU.
