Story Behind The Song

I am a college professor...I write what I observe!

Song Description

The Internet provides great opportunities for research. Some students have taken "short cuts" using the Internet to either buy papers or copy and paste material from websites. This song takes a tongue-in-cheek look at violations of academic integrity.

Lyrics

Dot commies are coming!
--Steve Piscitelli © --

At a loss for words, ain?t got a clue
Paper to write, got nothing new
Where will I find it, what will I do,
I?ll Google it! Google it! And Yahoo it, too

Dot commies are coming, dot commies are here
Paper to write, well have no fear
I?ll find an article, I?ll steal a line
Type it all up, I?ll tell you it?s mine
The deadline is close, the deadline is near
No need to worry, dot commies are here

Hand in my paper, smiling and proud
I know it?s an ?A? I?ll say it out loud
You say it looks good from where you sit
Damn well should, I paid a lot for it

-chorus-
Teacher you want my work to shine
Sorry ?bout with that I ain?t got the time
But teacher, teacher can you cut me a break
I know the paper?s not mine, but at least it ain?t late!

-chorus-
Student, student I understand
But your work didn?t go as you planned
I?ve got some news that will lay you low
?Cause down to the dean now you must go!

-chorus-
Dot commies were coming, the dot commies were here
You?ve been busted, better have some fear
The teachers are smarter than they look
But you my friend you?re an open book
The deadline is close, the deadline is near
Yeah, you better worry, dot commies aren?t here!
