Lyric copyright by Dennis Pearl
may sing to the tune of "King of the Road" (Roger Miller)
Lectures for sale or rent, fifty topics that make no sense.
No loan - no school, I bet, I ain't got no internet.
Ah but, two hours of pushin' chalk,
could have been a two-minute talk.
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the mode.
Third moment x-bar to explain, notation to hang your brain.
Old worn out teaching views, I don't care if students lose.
I run old stories into the ground, short but not too profound.
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the mode.
I know every engineer I'm s'pose to train
All the students but none of their names
And every handout in every town
And every talk that ain't a talk 'cause no-ones around
I sing...
Lectures for sale or rent, fifty topics that make no sense.
No loan - no school, I bet, I ain't got no internet.
Ah but, two hours of pushin' chalk,
could have been a two-minute talk.
I'm a man of means by no means, king of the mode.
