LAW SCHOOL SURRENDER
Dean he told me, yes, he told me
That I’d meet profs like you
He also told me, “Stay away
You’ll never know what they’ll ask”
Just the other day I heard
Of a 1L’s passing out
Pennoyer versus Neff
Was going ‘round….
Silver’s all right
Sully’s all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don’t give your briefs away
Hey, heeeeeey
Hernandez says, “Your profs are right
They’re really up on law
Before they taught, so many worked
In Big Law Firms doing blah-blah-blah”
Now, I had heard the Big Firms worked
Associates till they fried
But my prof he’s not one of those
I see him all bow tied….
Gonzalez’ all right
Nathenson’s all right
They just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don’t give your soul away
Hey, heeeeeey
Whatever happened to Section 4’s
Civ Pro class at end-of-year?
Every time that I got to thinking
“Where’d they disappear?”
But when I left class, the Breezeway was filled
With students studying law
Writing essays, crunchin’ outlines,
Got 1367 out…
Your profs are all right
You guys are all right
We just seem a little weird
Surrender
Surrender
But don’t give yourself away
Hey, heeeeeey
Away [C up to lower F, low G]
Away [C up to lower F, low G]
[Final chorus and then fade]
Kravitz’ all right
Fonseca-Nader’s all right
But don’t give yourself away
Warheit’s all right
Sully’s all right
But don’t give yourself away
Silver’s all right
Gonzalez’ all right
Nathenson’s all right
We’re all all right
We’re all all right
We’re all all right
We’re all all right
Surrender…..[Repeat]
