Once Written Lyrics

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!
