The Lyrics

I attend The New Student Breakfast at Atlantic Cape Community College and three women who were now surrounding me there names were Tammy, Carmen and Nancy sang this catchy song.
The DJ at WACC campus radio started playing an old type of burlesque music, Tammy, Carmen and Nancy all started to bump and grind to the music in a 40's-burlesque-style fashion until Tammy with a clarinet stepped out in front of the other two and started to sing:
You Can Get off to a good start
Develop a plan for the big test
Mark Questions that you want to return to
But You Must need a gimmick
If you want a sucessful job

You Can Manage your time well
Do not overextend yourself as well
Plan ahead and be organized
But You Must need a gimmick
Make a effeicient use of your time

You can uh, you can uh, you can uh uh uh
Know how to memorize your skills
So I uh, and I uh, and I uh uh uh
But I do it with a clarinet
(Tammy begins to play Mozart Clarinet Concerto on her Clarinet)
Be an Active listener
Take notes and pay attention
Recognized important information
You must need a gimmick
If you gonna have a chance

Carmen enters with the twirl flag it is red white and blue she was singing to me herself:

All them uhs and them uhs and them uh uh uhs
Won't solve your mystery
Me I uh and I uh and I uh uh uh
But I do it with a twirl
(Marching band type of music plays as Carmen twirls her flag and maching with it)
Know how to use a textbook
Scan Summaries and Reviews
Read and review with a purpose
But If you got a gimmick
College girl you will be great
As the music continued, Nancy with a Parasol a fancy fan she also has a volunteer named Jason Forslund who has a chainsaw. Then she too started to sing:
All that uh, and that uh, and that uh uh uh
They Know their learning style
I uh, and I uh, and I uh uh uh
But I do it with improvization
(Nancy opens her Parasol and her Fancy Fan she is pretening she's at a park untill Jason comes after with a chainsaw)
Find a good place to study
Organize your study time
Know how to memorize and remember information
You Must need a gimmick
Hope you study smart
Know your learning style
Know how to study for a test
Use tricks when making a test or speech
Come on and Just admit it
when you have a gimmick
look at us then and now
(Carmen twirls her flag, Nancy runs away from Jason with the chainsaw, and Tammy plays her clarinet)
Carmen: Be on time and be prepared for each class
Nancy: Sit and communicate with your classmates and professors
Tammy: Particpate in class and be a good listener
All three: So Get a gimmick and that you will have good luck in college!
