To the tune of Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.

We’re no guests in this net.
You know the tendency, and so do I.
An aging system’s what I’m thinking of.
Ignoring this just makes our risk too high.

I just wanna upgrade all our systems,
Gotta close those gaping holes.

Never gonna get to it.
Never gonna fix that script.
Never gonna replace the beast we inherited.
Never gonna patch that bug.
Never gonna document.
Never gonna shutdown a system - ever.

We’ve been on this release for so long.
The hardware’s been aching,
But we’re to busy to see it.
Inside we both know what’s been going on,
The system’s crying and we’re gonna kill it.

And if you ask me how it’s running,
I’ll pretend I’m just too blind to see!

Never gonna get to it.
Never gonna fix that script.
Never gonna replace the beast we inherited.
Never gonna patch that bug.
Never gonna document.
Never gonna shutdown a system - ever.

Never gonna get to it.
Never gonna fix that script.
Never gonna replace the beast we inherited.
Never gonna patch that bug.
Never gonna document.
Never gonna shutdown a system - ever.

(Get to it…  Get to it…)
Never gonna fix… Never gonna fix… (Get to it…)
Never gonna fix… Never gonna fix… (Get to it…)
