The Lyrics
Aching are my burning eyes—
finals studying’s a bane.
And my throat is mighty dry;
rye swilled would help stifle pain
Aching are my burning eyes—
I’m burning oil of midnight.
And I must admit that I
am not ready—what a plight!
Bo…ring stuff.
It’s testing time, uh-oh!
Bo…ring stuff.
To testing I soon must go.
Should I hit the pharmacy
and get something very strong
to sharpen my memory?
It’s necessary, though wrong.
Go…rge enough
so that I can go-go.
Go…rge enough.
Even better would be blow.
F**king testing’s not for me,
and studying’s not my thing.
Don’t want to be a flunkee.
I know what to do, I think.
Fo….rge a bond
with a nerd in the know.
Fo….rge a bond
with a nerd…pay HIM with blow.
He agrees, then he is paid,
and I get my money’s worth.
He helps me cheat with the aid
of technology…no dearth.
Sco…re high, my luck.
I owe thanks to nerd Joe.
Sco…re high; I duck
an expelling: Grades say so.
finals studying’s a bane.
And my throat is mighty dry;
rye swilled would help stifle pain
Aching are my burning eyes—
I’m burning oil of midnight.
And I must admit that I
am not ready—what a plight!
Bo…ring stuff.
It’s testing time, uh-oh!
Bo…ring stuff.
To testing I soon must go.
Should I hit the pharmacy
and get something very strong
to sharpen my memory?
It’s necessary, though wrong.
Go…rge enough
so that I can go-go.
Go…rge enough.
Even better would be blow.
F**king testing’s not for me,
and studying’s not my thing.
Don’t want to be a flunkee.
I know what to do, I think.
Fo….rge a bond
with a nerd in the know.
Fo….rge a bond
with a nerd…pay HIM with blow.
He agrees, then he is paid,
and I get my money’s worth.
He helps me cheat with the aid
of technology…no dearth.
Sco…re high, my luck.
I owe thanks to nerd Joe.
Sco…re high; I duck
an expelling: Grades say so.
