Cornellian Pie 
(by Tom Roeder, Filip Radlinski, and Marcy Roeder)

A long long time ago
I can still remember how that Unix used to make me smile
And I thought even with the rants, 
Linux didn't stand a chance
But maybe we'd be happy for a while
But 611 made me shiver
With every homework I'd deliver
Symbols under latex
I couldn't find them in tex
I can't remember why i tried
to write a paper on the side
but now I only want to hide
The day my project died

So...

CHORUS:
My My A exam went awry
Sent my paper somewhat later
Than the conference deadline
The cornell sky is getting heavy, oh why?
Takin' yet another year, why oh why?
Yet another year, why oh why?

Now for ten years, this has been my home
An office down deep in Rhodes hall
But thats not how it used to be
When undergrads came to be seen
And play with all our new machines
And toys that came from over the sea
Oh, while the students do work much
The profs doled grades out on a hunch
The classroom was adjourned
No comments were returned
And while first years read books on locks
And Lamport's paper about clocks
I packed my things into a box
The day my project died
We were singin'...

CHORUS

I met a girl who wrote a Q
And called her magic number 2
but she just sighed and turned away
I went down to the CU store
where I'd bought that shrink-wrapped stuff before
but the man there said the shrink wrap doesn't pay
And in the halls the ugrads streamed
The TAs cried, and the RAs dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The laptops all were broken
And the three profs I admire most
Met up with me and now I'm toast
I'll go work on the other coast
The day my project died
And they were singin' ...

CHORUS
