I Hate Paper Grading

(Tune: I Love Rock and Roll)

I graded this paper just the other night

Just about every other line was trite

The rhetoric was bad

The typos, they were sad

And I found it was driving me mad

‘Cause it was such junk, yeah, junk

And I found it was driving me mad

‘Cause it was such junk, yeah, junk, that’s why

I hate paper grading

So throw another one in the trashcan, baby

I hate paper grading

I think their work is a waste of a tree

He handed in his paper, oh so late

He gave some lame excuse (probably on a date)

You could tell he took no looks

At any library books

Didn’t even use the spell check

‘Cause it was such junk, yeah, junk

Didn’t even use the spell check

‘Cause it was such junk, yeah, junk, that’s why

I hate paper grading

So throw another one in the trashcan, baby

I hate paper grading

I think their assignment is a waste of a tree

It’s amazing they can type five pages of such tripe

And with this they think they’ll pass, with me, yeah me

Requirements of this class, yeah with me, with me, that’s why

That’s why I hate paper grading

So throw another one in the trashcan, baby

I hate paper grading

I think their work is a waste of a tree
