To the tune of Bryan White's "Someone Else's Star"

"Someone Else's Notes"

I'm in my room today, I did not go to class
I had not done the reading, and I went to sleep too late
Oh, I tried hard as I could, but I couldn't get out of bed
So instead of solitaire in class, I play it in my room instead.

I guess I will be borrowing
Someone else's notes
I hope there's someone who showed up
And did not fall asleep
Why can't I be as lucky as those with no class till noon
So I'm left to beg for mercy
And someone else's notes

You'd think that I could find a class I'd want to go
A teacher who's dynamic so the class won't seem so slow
If that's too much to wish, perhaps there could be
A teacher using lecture notes that are on the Web for free

I guess I will be borrowing
Someone else's notes
I hope there's someone who showed up
And did not fall asleep
Why can't I be as lucky as those with no class till noon
So I'm left to beg for mercy
And someone else's notes

I sit here in my room, and watch a DVD
I could do that in class like lots of laptop screens I see
But when I sit in class, the options ain't the same
Sure I could play solitaire, but there's no sound on the game

I guess I will be borrowing
Someone else's notes
I hope there's someone who showed up
And wrote down all the quotes
Why can't I be as lucky as those with no class at all
So I'm left to beg for mercy
And someone else's notes
