He's a real sysadmin
Sitting in machine room land
Making all his upgrade plans
For the cluster.

Always has the login 'root.'
Knows just how machines reboot
He is not at all like you and me...

Sysadmin, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing
Sysadmin, UNIX is at your command!

He's as smart as he can be
Writes in precise Perl and C
Sysadmin, can you help me at all?

Sysadmin, don't worry
The machines will return shortly
Leave it all till new sysadmins lend you a hand...
