Subject: Song parody: thesis



(Lord knows where this comes from! but it's fun)

[ tune of "I've been working on the Railroad" ]



(tune: I've been working on the railroad)



I've been working on my thesis

19 hours a day ...

I've been working on my thesis

Wasting all my youth away ...

I hear my committee mumbling

questions large and small

Can't you hear them all a-shouting

"Publish by the fall!"



Data won't you show

Data won't you show

Data won't you show something new-ew-ew

Data won't you show

Data won't you show

Data won't you show something new.



Someone's been fiddling with my data

Someone's been feeling pretty blue-oo-oo

Someone's been playing with the numbers

Now they show something new!



Fee-fie fiddle away

Fee-fie fudge fudge fay

Fee-fie twiddle tweak twee

I'll get my Ph.D.!
