Updates done past the morning light
My mother says, “When you gonna live your life right?”
Oh mother dear, we had a late test run
And GNUs, they wanna have fun
Oh GNUs just wanna have fun!

Co-maintainers call in the dead of night
My father yells, “What you gonna do with your life?”
Oh dad, this bug fix is a critical one
And GNUs, they wanna have fun
Oh GNUs just wanna have…

That's all they really want
Some fun
When the ho-hum day is done
Oh GNUs, they wanna have fun
Oh GNUs just wanna have fun!

(GNUs, they want, wanna have fun, GNUs wanna have…)

Some GNUs take code that's a beautiful hack
And make it even better, then give it right back
'Cause sharing our code is how we've all won
And GNUs, they wanna have fun
Oh GNUs just wanna have…

That’s all they really want
Is some fun
When the ho-hum day is done
Oh GNUs, they wanna have fun
Oh GNUs just wanna have fun!

(GNUs they want, wanna have fun, GNUs wanna have…)

They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
They just wanna
GNUs…
GNUs just wanna have fun!

When the ho-hum
When the ho-hum day is done, oh
GNUs…

GNUs just wanna have fun!
