lyrics

When I’m A P.H.D.

When I’m a P.H.D., no one will dare to question me
Except the other P.H.D.’s, but not when I’m on TV
Where everyone will worship me, oh Jehovah!

P.H.D., P.H.D., I will be a P.H.D
With a bona fide degree made out to me

When I’m a P.H.D., I’m gonna share my salary
With all my family for everything they did for me
To help me finally get to be

A P.H.D., P.H.D., I will be a P.H.D
With a bona fide degree made out to me

At our parties all us smarties will let down our hair
Stand on a chair, bare as you dare, you can stare
But we won’t care

When I’m a P.H.D., no ivory tower will fall on me
In my professional building by the sea
Where I’ll teach everyone to be
A successful PHD like me, why don’t you be like me
