Ray Charles - The Modern Student lyrics

[Verse] Will shakespeare thought that fellows creep "Unwillingly to school," And must to pore o'er knowledge deep Be driven like a mule The cla**ics were the goals pursued By boys in willie's day The english tongue was far too rude Save for the common play New teachings have sprung up since then We've buried all that rot We will no longer wield the pen! We have the turkey trot We care not what old tullius raves And really must confess: He should have sunk beneath the waves Ere catiline's address The greatest julius when he stood Most mighty o'er the ma** With all his tact he never could Have thrown a forward pa** At homer who told tales of troy We raise an awful din We'd rather hear sir eddie foy Sing "ragtime violin." Salome too was not the whirl The semites used to think Why miss deslys could make that girl Sit down and take a drink For modes and ways have changed a bit Since shakespeare was a boy The empty fads have made a hit And ignorance is joy
