Bye, bye, to the XP supply And Vista, what a nightmare, it was quite a black eye Windows 7 now will be the rallying cry Thinking this will make my new PC fly This will make my new PC flyDid you back up all your drive Just in case the install takes a dive Cause the experts tell you so

Now do you have faith in Microsoft Can Seven keep those guys aloft And can Ballmer just avoid some more layoffs

Well I know that you're not fond of him Cause the balance sheet was pretty grim It wasn't all his fault The economy came to a halt

Well, it may seem like Steve's a sad lame duck But this brand new Windows isn't Vista (yuck) So I knew he had changed his luck The day that XP died

I just rebooted

Bye, bye to the XP pig sty Bought a new Windows 7 at my local Best Buy And several geeks were standing very nearby Singing this will be the one to apply This will be the one to apply

I saw a guy who did IT And I asked him if he liked XP But he just smiled and turned away Then I went down to the retail store Where I bought XP some years before But the man there said that Seven is the way

So all around the PC scene A brand new Windows fast and clean And "Vista" won't be spoken Since it was badly broken

And the one man I despise the most That Mac ad guy, his complaints are toast The PC guy can finally boast The day that XP died

So bye, bye, to the XP supply Microsoft pulled the plug, so don't bother to cry XP had a good run, that I just won't deny, but Thinking this will be the day that it dies
