    Tekst:

    a long long time ago
    i can still remember
    when my laptop could connect elsewhere

    and i tell you all there was a day
    the network card i threw away
    had a purpose – and worked for you and me….

    But 18 years completely wasted
    with each address we’ve aggregated
    the tables overflowing
    the traffic just stopped flowing….

    And now we’re bearing all the scars
    and all my traceroutes showing stars…
    the packets would travel faster in cars…
    the day….the routers died

    Chorus (ALL!!!!!)

    So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
    Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
    IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
    But I spose we’d better give it a try
    I suppose we’d better give it a try

    Now did you write an RFC
    That dictated how we all should be
    Did we listen like we should that day

    Now were you back at RIPE fifty-four
    Where we heard the same things months before
    And the people knew they’d have to change their ways….

    And we – knew that all the ISPs
    Could be – future proof for centuries

    But that was then not now
    Spent too much time playing WoW

    ooh there was time we sat on IRC
    Making jokes on how this day would be
    Now there’s no more use for TCP
    The day the routers died…

    Chorus (chime in now)

    So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
    Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
    IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
    But I spose we’d better give it a try
    I suppose we’d better give it a try

    I remember those old days I mourn
    Sitting in my room, downloading porn
    Yeah that’s how it used to be….

    When the packets flowed from A to B
    via routers that could talk IP
    There was data..that could be exchanged between you and me….

    Oh but – I could see you all ignore
    The fact – we’d fill up IPv4

    But we all lost the nerve
    And we got what we deserved!

    And while…we threw our network kit away
    And wished we’d heard the things they say
    Put all our lives in disarray

    The day…the routers died…

    Chorus (those silent will be shot)

    So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
    Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
    IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
    But I spose we’d better give it a try
    I suppose we’d better give it a try

    Saw a man with whom I used to peer
    Asked him to rescue my career
    He just sighed and turned away..

    I went down to the net cafe
    that I used to visit everyday
    But the man there said I might as well just leave…

    And now we’ve all lost our purpose..
    my cisco shares completely worthless…

    No future meetings for me
    At the Hotel Krasnapolsky

    and the men that make us push and push
    Like Geoff Huston and Randy Bush
    Should’ve listened to what they told us….
    The day…the routers….died

    Chorus (time to lose your voice)

    So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
    Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
    IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
    But I spose we’d better give it a try
    I suppose we’d better give it a try
