Lyrics

  1. Please do not throw sausage pizza away
  2. All people seem to need data processing today
  3. Pizza shouldn’t touch someone’s pretty apron
  4. Protocols and pancakes — we’re doin’ it our way
  5. Application Layer’s where users play,
  6. Web, chat, email all day.
  7. You click a link — it’s HTTP,
  8. That’s the layer that talks to me.
  9. Penguins don’t need to sort plastic apples
  10. Presentation’s makin’ your data glow,
  11. Formats, styles, crypto flow.
  12. JPEGs, TLS, Unicode too,
  13. Turns weird bytes into something new.
  14. They sorted 'em yesterday, bro
  15. Session Layer’s got the key,
  16. It starts the chat and keeps it free.
  17. Logins, handshakes, open wide,
  18. Keeps your apps all synchronized.
  19. They're not even real, they’re plastic
  20. Transport Layer splits the stack,
  21. TCP keeps the packets on track.
  22. UDP just doesn’t care,
  23. Sends it all with zero flair.
  24. Ports say where the data goes,
  25. Ten-twenty-four’s what everybody knows.
  26. Put those apples away
  27. Network Layer’s the routing king,
  28. IP moves everything.
  29. Link State heals like nothing’s wrong,
  30. Distance Vector took too long.
  31. Penguins don’t need to sort plastic apples
  32. Data Link’s got frames and names,
  33. MAC addresses and switchboard games.
  34. It checks for errors in the stream,
  35. Makes sure Layer 1’s a dream.
  36. Put those apples away, you have a problem
  37. Physical’s where the signal lives,
  38. Cables, wires — what Layer 2 gives.
  39. Voltage, fiber, bits in air,
  40. This is where your bytes get there.
  41. They’re not even real, they’re plastic
  42. OSI is seven deep
  43. From the clicks to the voltage leap
  44. Don’t skip a layer, don’t pretend
  45. Or you’ll reboot life at Layer Ten
  46. Penguins don’t need to sort plastic apples
  47. Put those apples away
  48. They sorted 'em yesterday
  49. They’re not even real
  50. They’re plastic
