Talkin’ Bnary Blues

G…………………………..C……..
Well, I took myself to work today
C…………………………..D
Thought I’d earn a little pay
G………………………………..C
But I dont work no black coal mine
C…………………………………D
Or break my back on a factory line
G ..C……..D ……
No sir, not me…

G….C ….. D….. G

G………………………………….C ( and continue as in first verse)
I work in a place called Network Ops
Nothing to do with street cops
But I make sure the traffic flows
And watch where all the packets go

En-capsulation ..Yes sir, Frame it up …

We got switches, routers, hubs and things
All a-whir and all a-ring
They got flashin’ lights that keep the beat
And IP addresses quite unique

Sub-nets … IP, UP, we all P for IP….

Now we have to break them Sub-nets up
So we can make that Network strut
With a little bit of bi-nary math
We can make all our network masks

And I don’t mean halloween … No sir, gimme a slash 24

Now convertin’ to binary might seem hard
‘specially if you’re not on your guard
But it’s easy as one, two, three
Oh wait, that one’s and zeros, don’t you see

Bi-nary … twice as easy

Now, for every subnet that we make
There’s two ip’s that act as stakes
One up high and one down low
So everything in between we know

That’s 2 bit’s in George …. you freakin’ geek

Well, thats all for now you network grubs
Pretty soon you’ll be in the network club
If you learn your binary cool and clean
Every one will say, yer the Network King..

Ok then, Be all you can be… Be an IT

ahh, hold on….before you go

Theres lots to be said for network geeks
Though some of you might think us creeps
If it weren’t for all our binary sweat
There wouldn’t be no Internet

Maybe not a bad thing ….
Where’s AL Gore when you need ‘im
