We've got a chip, but what can it do? Talk to a disk and store data too Now it's a computer, so Gary said And he turned a whole industry on its head IBM came to call and where were you? They wanted to do business but Gates did too Gary, were you flying, as some people say? Did your wife do you in on that fateful day? What did you tell them, we'd so like to know How did Bill Gates steal the whole show? When the dust settled and it was all done CP/M became toast and DOS was the one You were a visionary; you made great stuff But multitasking and storage was not enough you gave us a GUI, better than them Windows sucked, but you gave us a GEM What if it'd been different and been Microsoft's loss? What if we'd got CP/M instead of MSDOS? You walked the walk, you wrote the code You always lost out but your pain never showed Whatever you did, Gates did it too You were the better, but his empire grew You waged many wars and all battles were lost Your opponent would win, no matter the cost Then you died too young and it's a shame That the world now hardly remembers your name The Legend of Gary must continue to last How soon they forget and bury the past Did you fight in a bar, or was it a fall? Now it's too late for him to tell all. He's in his grave and we don't know why What happened, what happened, how did you die? Death usually ends things, but not for you DRDOS was out there, and Novell said "Let's sue!" Gates blackmailed and pressured for his DOS to score Caldera inherits and the judge says "no more!" In the year 2000 a judge orders some cures Are you out there, Gary? DRDOS endures! CP/M's gone and DRI too But, Gary, we all owe a big debt to you
