     Young man, are you tired of rip?
     I said, young man, too much output on sh ip?
     I said, young man, there's no reason to flip
     We've got the algorhythm for you. 

     Young man, there's a solution in sight
     I said, young man, come into the light
     This protocol's fun. (well, more or less)
     If all else fails, you can always just guess. 

     Route your network with O-S-P-F
     Route your network with O-S-P-F 

     It has everything you want in a toy
     Just ask any networker, a girl or a boy. 

     Route your network with O-S-P-F
     Route your network with O-S-P-F 

     Young man, don't just fantasize
     I said, young man, you can now summarize
     I said, young man, just open your eyes
     Best of all, it's not too painful 

     Protocols that know your AS
     I said, young man, they take care of the mess
     So just use it: route with OSPF
     I'm sure you'll be much happier. 

     Route your network with O-S-P-F
     Route your network with O-S-P-F 

     Young man, are your tables to full?
     I said, young man, are you tired of RIP's bull?
     The solution is called OSPF.
     You'll never go back to anything less. 

     On Ciscos, it runs like a dream.
     Bay Networks, they all think it's a scream.
     And someday, before the Universe ends...
     Oh yes, someday, it'll work on Ascends. 

     Route your network with O-S-P-F
     Route your network with O-S-P-F 

     O-S-P-F, route your network with O-S-P-F 

     Young man, are you tired of rip?
     I said, young man, too much output on sh ip? 

     O-S-P-F, route your network with O-S-P-F 

     Young man, are you tired of rip?
     I said, young man, too much output on sh ip? 

     O-S-P-F, route your network with O-S-P-F
