You Got a C 2018 by The Cornell Hangovers Lyrics
[Intro: Ariel, Sebastian]
Sebastian!
Yes, Ariel?
I just got my first bio prelim back
And I got a C. What do I do??
Ariel, listen to me. High school is in the past!
Life at Cornell is better than anything they had over there!
[Verse 1]
You got all straight As in high school
'cause you went to every class
You were what they call a brown nose
You learned how to kiss the ass
But since you arrived at Cornell
All you do is go out and play!
And while you were getting funky
You did sucky! You didn't get an A!
[Chorus 1]
You got a C!
You got a C!
You thought you'd done better
Then you saw the letter, you got a C!
All of the nerds they work all day
Locked in their rooms they slave away
While you were snoozin', flirtin', and boozin'!
You got a C!
[Verse 2]
You could have been working harder
But there's so much else to do
Like when you got smashed at Chi Phi
And you did some keg stands too
Going streaking until the sunrise
You passed out at 5AM
And when you wake up you realize...
[Interlude]
You're in the middle of the Arts Quad and you have no idea how you got there, you're sitting in the cold and in the rain wearing nothing but a G-string filled with dollar bills and there's a note attached to you from a guy named "Big Randy" that says "Thanks for the hot night, Nancy!"
[Chorus 2]
You got a C!
You got a C!
I'm willing to wager
That you'll change your major
Take it from me!
You came with ambitions, brains, and style
But now you've been smokin' for a while!
You've forgotten your name now so transfer to AEM now!
You got a C!
You got a C!
Your grades may be rocky
Just learn to play hockey
And As will be free!
So your dad's a rocket scientist?
Oh man is he gonna be pissed!
You make him unhappy, 'cause you did crappy!
You got a C!
[Bridge]
Harvard and Brown they both turned you down
Their grades are so great because they inflate!
We may have been spanked in all of the ranks
But we kick their ass in a cappella!
Cornell is not easy, it makes you feel queasy
To earn the good grades instead of get laid!
But if you don't do it and just say "Oh screw it!"
Then your GPA will blow!
[Chorus 3]
Yeah, you got a C!
You got a C!
Don't be forlorn you can't look at porn
You have to study!
So pre-med's harder than you thought
Become a hotelie then you got
A ticket to riches, fame, fortune, and bitches!
You got a C!
Start learning and thinking instead of just drinking
You got a C!
Start giving a damn about your next exam
Or start working at fricken Kentucky Fried Chicken!
Yeah we excel here, 'cause we're Cornell here
You got a C!
Sebastian!
