"Your Lecture is a Slumberland"

(to the tune of "Your Body Is A Wonderland")

One in the afternoon
A room for ninety-two
One case is left to do
Your mouth moves but
I'm not hearing you

One yawn for every line of
Your lecture dry as sand
One snore in every row and
My eyes are both closed

'Cause if you want us
To listen
You gotta say something
Worth listening
Take all your big words
Forget 'em
Feels like we've been here a while

Your lecture is a slumberland
Your lecture is a slumberland (My laptop's off)
Your lecture is a slumberland

Something 'bout the cadence of the words you say
It's something 'bout the subject or perhaps the time of day
You start to talk, I'm drowsy
Take volunteers, I'm sleeping
I hope you never call on me
Cause my eyes I'll be keeping... closed...

You want words?
I'll fake it
I didn't hear students
Say it
Take all your doctrine
Forget it
Feels like we've been here a while

Your lecture is a slumberland
Your lecture is a slumberland (My laptop's off)
Your lecture is a slumberland

Damn casebooks
You frustrate me
And then you talk you talk you talk
Maybe I shouldn't take a Sudafed

Your lecture is a slumberland
Your lecture is a slumberland (My laptop's off)
Your lecture is a slumberland
Your lecture is a slumberland
