The Lyrics
What does a Pell Grant do?
Gives students dimes
That they can use to pay for tu-
ition. . .buying
Books, supplies buying.
You know, they are granted
To students who're down
On their luck. . .need a hand
And might land in a land-grant-school town.
What does a Pell Grant do?
Helps with "spell" rhyme,
Swell rhyme.
It'll do
For a stu-
dent who's blue
Broke and blue. . .got a frown. . .
Give her/him where-
withal to maybe
Get cap and gown.
Beer money!
For Pells run pell-mell to
Get into line.
