Created in collaboration with Dr. Linda D'Amour, Professor of English (lyrics) hmmm, hmmm, hmmm I woke up this morning, my alarm didn’t ring. My phone was out of battery, didn’t hear a thing. Ran to class with my hair a mess, Professor, you wouldn't believe this stress! I got better excuses! Better than before! No more tales of dogs and printers, I've got more in store. From alien abductions To a Wi-Fi blackout, You’ll be amazed at the stories I can spout. My roommate had a party, it went all night, The noise was so loud, I couldn’t even write. Then the power went out, just my kind of luck, Tried to study by candlelight, but my brain got stuck. I got better excuses! Better than before! No more tales of dogs and printers, I've got more in store. From alien abductions To a Wi-Fi blackout, You’ll be amazed at the stories I can spout. My laptop was hacked by ... a... foreign spy! He took all my notes and I had to comply! My car broke down, had to hitch a ride! Got lost in the woods, oh what a wild ride! A squirrel stole my textbook, ran up a tree, Spent hours trying to get it back, oh woe is me. My neighbor’s cat gave birth, had to play midwife, Helping those kittens just took over my life. I got better excuses! Better than before! No more tales of dogs and printers, I've got more in store. From alien abductions To a Wi-Fi blackout, You’ll be amazed at the stories I can spout. So, professor, please, just one more chance, I promise next time, I’ll be in advance. These college days are wild and full of surprise, But I’ll keep trying, with better alibis.
