     I welcome you to UNIX Version seven
     The operating system we just bought.
     It's running on our PDP-11
     It's CODE-A-LOT

     To have small files is certainly no disgrace
     The users of them have not been forgot
     For allocators do not waste your disk space
     In CODE-A-LOT

     CODE-A-LOT! CODE-A-LOT!
     Its pure simplicity beguiles.
     E.g. in CODE-A-LOT (CODE-A-LOT!)
     Directories are files.

     The output of a simple 'list directory'
     Is input for the program down the line
     You easily have got
     Exactly what you sought
     Through one brief line of input
     Using tools of CODE-A-LOT.

     CODE-A-LOT! CODE-A-LOT!
     No program-keys to cut and paste
     For in CODE-A-LOT (CODE-A-LOT!)
     You build commands to suit your taste.

     Your objects never lag behind your source code
     Upon request, new versions must appear.
     In short, there's simple not
     A more convenient spot
     For happy-every-aftering
     Than here in CODE-A-LOT!
