Once upon a motherboard

Where things were simple, nothing more

Legacy BIOS, my old friend

Our time together's near its end

Those simple menus, black and white

Soon replaced by UEFI's light

But I remember how you'd start

With that beep that touched my heart

Oh, legacy BIOS, fading away

Like morning dew on a summer day

No Secure Boot or GPT

Just you and me, so wild and free

Those 16 bits were all we needed

Now you're slowly being succeeded

Remember POST codes, one by one?

And cylinder counting, oh what fun!

No fancy graphics, no mouse here

Just arrow keys held oh so dear

Four partitions were enough back then

When life was simpler, way back when

Times are changing, moving on

Soon you'll be completely gone

But in my heart you'll always be

The one that first booted me

Oh, legacy BIOS, fading away

Like morning dew on a summer day

No Secure Boot or GPT

Just you and me, so wild and free

Those 16 bits were all we needed

Now you're slowly being succeeded

Sweet dreams, my simple friend

Till we POST again
