Lyrics
So, let's look at this thing from another point of view, which you will at first think highly depressing Let's supposing we can't do anything to change ourselves Suppose we're stuck with it. Now, that is the worst thing an American audience can hear There's no way of improving yourself, because every kind of culture in this country is dedicated to self-improvement Just take jogging, that deplorable practice It's a very nice thing to run And to go dancing across the hills at a fast speed But these joggers (imitating shoes hitting pavеment) Shaking their bones, rattling thеir brains, running on their heels There's a grimness about it. It's determinately good for you Why do you go to school? The whole point of coming to school is that you're interested in something You don't come to improve yourself The trouble is that the schools got the wrong idea They gave people honors for learning The reward for studying French should be the ability to speak French and enjoy reading French And having fun with French people But when you get a degree for it, then the degree becomes the point In a game of one-upmanship And of course, one-upmanship is the main business of the educational community today You learn all the rules of how to be a good professor How to be a good professor
