I Could Have Tooled All Night
[to be sung to the tune of I Could Have Danced All Night
from My Fair Lady]
Tool! Tool! I feel like such a fool!
All term I goofed off; I can't catch up now!
Sleep! Sleep! I've got to get some sleep!
Tooling wouldn't help me anyhow!
I could have tooled all night,
I could have tooled all night,
and still have tooled some more;
I could have been absurd,
Learned all my Latin verbs,
It wouldn't raise my score.
I can't remember all those theorems,
And all those facts from my mind flee --
I only know exams,
Are why one usually crams,
But tooling never could help me!
I could have tooled all night,
I could have tooled all night,
And memorized each book;
I only now regret,
My sections never met,
And lectures I forsook.
I cross my fingers now in terror,
I only hope some luck's with me --
But had I tooled or not,
I'd still be on the spot,
My goofing off deserves the E!
-- The Great Quux
