Prof on the Run

(Tune: Band on the Run [McCartney])

Stuck inside these four walls

Grading work forever

Never reading nothin’

Worth an A

Bad grammar, typos

Format problems, no thought

Garbage

If the network is up again

And the printer, it works OK

Gonna put in the last data

Gonna print out my final grades

Will I ever get out of here

Will we ever get out of here

Well, the registrar drew a heavy sigh

Cause the grades had all come in

And the faculty shut and locked their doors

And left with a huge grin

Prof on the run

Prof on the run

And the long email from those who fail

Will sit for three more months

For the prof on the run,

The prof on the run

The prof on the run

The prof on the run

Well, committee work ground to a halt

As vacations had begun

And they sent their postcards from far and wide

Because they're finally having fun

Prof on the run

Prof on the run

And the syllabus for the brand new course

Can wait 'til late August

For the prof on the run,

The prof on the run

The prof on the run

The prof on the run

solo

Prof on the run

Prof on the run

Well a couple projects fixing up the house

Were going just as planned

And they squeezed in one more trip out of town

Before the fall semester began

Prof on the run

Prof on the run

And the tie and shirt, and the business skirt

Will be in closets 'til the fall

For the prof on the run,

The prof on the run

The prof on the run

The prof on the run

August 7, 2001

Original idea: end of spring semester, 2000
