(Sing to the tune of Summer Nights from the Grease motion picture soundtrack.)
[Me] Summer doldrums, make time so slow-oh!
[Adviser] That’s an excuse? We’ll never let you go!
[Me] I’m working hard, in the library.
[Adviser] You call that working? Get down on your knees!
[Me] A-a-ging, i-in grad school, getting a uh-uh P-h-D!
[The Juniors]
Don’t tell us more, don’t tell us more, you’ve always been here!
Don’t tell us more, don’t tell us more, you’ll be here next year!
[Adviser] Why are you here, wasting my time?!
[Me] I have an idea, is that a crime?
[Adviser] Your idea sucks! You thought I’d agree?
[Me] But it works! It solves your quandary!
[Advisor] The idea’s yours, but the credit is mine. That’s getting a uh-uh P-h-D!
[The Juniors]
Don’t tell us more, don’t tell us more, we’re filled with fear!
Don’t tell us more, don’t tell us more, or we’ll shed a tear!
[Me] Summer doldrums, you can watch your hair grow-oh!
[Adviser] Come on, boy! You’re going too slow!
[Me] I might speed up, if you “advised” me!
[Adviser] You’re on your own! That’s grad school, buddy!
[Me] More gray hairs! More wrinkles! I’m getting a uh-uh P-h-D!
[The Juniors]
Don’t tell us more, don’t tell us more, you’re getting kicked in your rear!
Don’t tell us more, don’t tell us more, why don’t you ha-ave a beer (or twelve)!
[Adviser] Work more for me! Work more for free!
[Me] If I want out , there’s no more choices for me!
[Adviser] What?! You don’t enjoy this slave labor?
[Me] Of course I do, please kick me more, sir!
[Advisor] Oh I will! And you’re welcome, my dear! You’re getting a uh-uh P-h-D!
[The Juniors]
Don’t tell us more, don’t tell us more, we pity your rear!
Don’t tell us more, don’t tell us more, will you ever, get out of here?!
[Me] What do you think? Will I ever graduate?
[Adviser] Of course you will, but you’ll be a litte la-ate!
[Me] That’s good to know. Does that mean you have date?
[Adviser] Of course we do, you’ll leave in 2028!
[Me] That’s what it like! That’s what it is! Getting a uh-uh P-h-D!
[The Juniors]
Don’t tell us more, don’t tell us more!
