ONCE WRITTEN TWICE REVISED!
Well the deadline's drawing near for your final draft
You've been writing since 6:30 and you only have half
You can't remember where you get your last source
You gotta find it now or you're gonna Fail the course
You didn't know know what a database was
...Or what an academic librarian does
She got there in the nick of time
Before you went to google just to see what you could find
Now it's middle of the night and the paper's due!
Your thesis doesn't work and you're oh so screwed.
You're feeling tired, you're feeling kind of beat
And bibliography's incomplete!
You didn't know how MLA looked
Until you found your sister's old English handbook
...You know you need... to work on your craft
By the look of things now you've got "shitty first draft"
Chorus: My my my once written, twice revised!
My my my once written, twice revised!
My my my once written, twice revised!
Paper you're a mess I should just hit delete
Not even sure what part of this I should keep
Can't keep this quote! I can't keep it here!
I'm going to move it up so my argument's clear!
I didn't know how my thinking evolved!
So I did revision and my problem was solved.
I got the title, I got the flow--
Of paper writing, I am Vincent Van Gogh
Chorus: My my my once written, twice revised!
My my my once written, twice revised!
My my my once written, twice revised!
I didn't know what I actually thought!
Til I used the writing process that I had been taught
You told me not to write only one
But look at me now, my third revision is done!
Chorus: My my my once written, twice revised!
My my my once written, thrice revised!
My my my once written, thrice revised!
Revised!
Revised!
