Hey, out there!âassistant professors, full,
associates,âinstructorsâothersâanyâ
I have a sing to shay.
We are assembled here in the capital
city for Dullâand one professor's wife is Maryâ
at Christmastide, hey!
and all of you did theses or are doing
and the moral history of what we were up to
thrives in Sir Wilson's handsâ
who I don't see hereâonly deals go screwing
some of you out, some upâthe chairmen too
are nervous, little friendsâ
a chairman's not a chairman, son, forever,
and hurts with his appointments; ha, but circleâ
take my word for itâ
though maybe Frost is dyingâaround Mary;
forget your footnotes on the old gentleman;
dance around Mary.
