I picked her up alone at the club,
We were much to drunk to get in my V-Dub

The plan was to take her home,
Hoping my night would end with dome

She was way too prude in my mind, she wouldn't even give a rub.

From Texas there was a young man
Who would always sit on the can
He was a big chump
And took a big dump
And forgot to turn on the fan

I'm an A student from SIU
Some days this place feels like a zoo
I just wanted to pass
because I liked the class
So I turned in my homework when due.

There once was a student from SIU
Who always was going “ACHU”
He came back from the farm
With a shot in his arm
Because he contracted swine flu.

There once was a girl from our class
Whose car did not have any gas
She traveled for miles
And suffered some wiles
How lucky for her she missed class

There once was a girl in a class
she was worried she had a fat ass
she felt oh so blue
that she picked SIU
so she decided to start smoking grass!

A Carbondale girl named Jill,
Whose only wish was to fulfill

The ideals of a nurse,
With the pills in her purse,

And prescriptions for her own refill.

There once was a man from Belize
Who picked up chicks with a breeze.
He picked up a man
With a gun in his hand,
He took his wallet and shot out his knees.

there once was a student from Illinois,
He only wanted to play with his toy.
Procrastination bit him in the ass,
So he decided to fail the class.
And now he's a failing boy.

There once was a man from the Dale
Who was always chasing some tale.
He went to the bar,
Then got in his car,
And now he’s headed to jail.

Finals week made him feel cruddy
So he went to hang out with his buddy
Some fun they were thinking
Involved some binge drinking
And now he's too shitty to study

In english class there once was a girl.
She did not want to give it a whirl.
The girl failed every test, because she stained her lucky vest.
For a price, she got a tutor named Merle.

There once was a girl from SIU
who dated a tall boy named Lou

The did not go to class
They would not pass

So they sit there in tears and said boo

I once met a teacher named Voss
Who thought she was the boss.

She gave us a test
and it was a mess.

So we went to the bar and got sauced.

There once was a man from St. Leon
Who spoke perfect grammar in Klingon
He tried for a date
But it wasn't his fate
On his hand he would not have a ring on
