(Protip: white tarpaulin is no substitute for a green screen that wasn't big enough to fit all the dancers in shot.)

[VERSE 1]
First day of class, five past the hour
I drive in late to the Ivory Tower
Arriving tardy to the parking lot
It's bloody hot and I've not found a parking spot
Forgot to study hard, skip my next four lectures
Award me extra marks, I'm bored to excess
Pawned my Xbox to afford these text books
Costs big bucks for subjects and HECS sucks

Backpack jam-packed, laptop snapped shut
Scapulae ache like when Pamela's bra straps cut
Hunched back like the keeper of Notre Dame
Run track 'cause I sleep through my clock alarm
I crammed all damn night for a grammar exam
This campus is a lack-of-concentration camp
Just got asked a question by my Bio tutor
Stall for time to Google it on my computer

Another week of juggling essays each day
Another week of struggling to get my fees payed
Another week of chugging lattés like a clichéd
Tree-hugging greenie druggie plugging beans from free trade
Ps get degrees, screw a High Distinction
Studious students? That's all science fiction
Facetiously critique Pidgin-English linguistic diction
Finishing prestigious theses for distinguished recognition

[HOOK]
Heck no, we don't ever study
Let's go to a toga party
In a sheer thong swilling from a beer bong
Playing beer pong down here all year long
Wake up, baked as a lamb roast
Taped-up naked to a lamp post
I hate taking notes, it's so boring
Head back to dorm and make some Mi Goreng

[CHORUS]
I love university
Get that college bursary
Education's tertiary
I love university

[VERSE 2]
Back in the age of the sage and wise
There were no book pages to plagiarise
No minimum wage vocations nationwide
Or economics majors beige with Asian eyes
Ancient guys from Shang Xiang; Pi Yong, too
Along with Gu Zong, Cheng Jun and Dong Xu
Taught the Six Arts: Calligraphy, Archery and Music
Charioteering, Math and Rites of Confucius

Pythagoras used the quadrivium methodology
Mathematics, Geometry, Music and Astrology
Plato's trivium academy was pedagogical
Giving a Grammatical, Rhetorical and Logical
Scholarly delivery from his new college
Timbuktu and Nālandā searched for true knowledge
Alexandria filled book covers with learnin'
If the roof's on fire, let the motherf---er burn, man!

[HOOK]
Heck no, we don't ever study
Let's go to a toga party
In a sheer thong swilling from a beer bong
Playing beer pong down here all year long
Wake up, baked as a lamb roast
Taped-up naked to a lamp post
I hate taking notes, it's so boring
Head back to dorm and make some Mi Goreng

[CHORUS]
I love university
Get that college bursary
Education's tertiary
I love... love... love...

[BRIDGE]
Charles Sturt in the house, throw your hands up
Monash from down south, grow your plants up
UWS, from the west side
ANU, number one, you're the best site
Yo, Macquarie with your green grass and ball courts
Sydney University looks like Hogwarts
UTS, you're so U-G-L-Y
And New South, you aint got no alumni

Gonna learn my three Rs at the old redbrick
Sing it: Reading 'Riting and 'Rithmetic
Degrees from Harvard, Princeton and Yale
Got my online fakes sent in the mail
C'mon!

I love university
(repeat to end)
