The FroshChem version (to the tune of the Les Mis song of the same name)
by SteuardJensen '98
A note on notation - original character names from the musical are used to give initials or names to the parts, because thats how it was done in the original. The version i have in front of me has only been changed in formatting to make it easier to parse.
A note on your note: I agree that my original formatting (in the version [on my website]) is harder to parse, so presenting it more clearly here is good. However, if you do manage to re-record it (I'd be grateful for a more polished rendition!) my formatting could be useful: as explained on my site, the text is placed on the page to indicate the timing of the various parts. Listening to the original will be helpful, too. I'd be happy to lend a hand, too.
All: One day more
JV: Another test, another travesty
This never-ending road to get a 'D'
They never give us enough time
The problem sets are just a crime
All: One day more
M: I did not study 'til today
I can't believe that I've just started
All: One day more
M&C: I know part B, you know part A
How can we pass when we are parted?
E: Must i study on my own?
(M&C): Will we ever sleep again?
Must i study without caring?
I am lost in chapter 2!
So much chem i might have known,
Six is false and seven, true.
But the prof was never there -
All: One more day before the storm
(M): Do i learn compound of 'O's?
At the lecture hall of frosh chem
Will i balance redox there?
When our grades begin to fall
What's a base and do i care?
Will you flunk the test with me?
The time
Is now
The day
Is here!
JV: One day more
Javert: One more day 'til we shall test them
We will kick them in the butt.
We will show these little schoolboys
You cannot get 'A's at Mudd.
JV: One day more
Ths: Watch them run amuck
Make the average fall.
There's no perfect answer: You'll lose points for all.
Here just give them zip,
There not very much;
Most of them are goners 'cause they left out such
Half: The worst part is just beginning
(rest): Waves of sigma and of pi
Carbon atoms in a ring
Carbon atoms in a ring!
What equations are they giving?
What equations have we done?
Do you comprehend a thing?
M: My seat
Is here
I write
With you!
At once:
(1) JV: One day more -
(2) M&C: We did not study 'til today -
(3) E: One more chapter on my own -
(4) Jav: I'll make sure they get all zeroes
write the test so they're too slow
(5) Ths: Watch 'em run amuck
Make the average fall
At once:
(1) JV: One day more -
(2) M&C: I can't believe that We've just started -
(3) Jav: I will find out what they've studied
never ask them what they know
(4) Ths: Here a little zip
There not very much
At once:
(1) JV: One day more -
(2) M&C: I know part B, you know part A -
(3) E: So much chem i might have known -
(4) Jav: One more day 'til we shall test them
We will kick them in the butt
(5) Ths: Watch 'em run amuck
Make the average fall
There's no perfect answer
They'll lose points for all
At once:
(1) JV: [wait until "parted"] Tomorrow though we want an 'A'
(2) M&C: How can we pass when we are parted
(3) Jav: We will show these little schoolboys
All: Tomorrow is the judgement day
Tomorrow we'll discover
what our Prof of FroshChem has in store
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!
note: the [] is where i added words for meter and sense, but they don't appear in my copy.
