The Ballad of Andy Karplus

(to the tune of “That’s Amore”)


Here in BB it’s in the air

This song concerns a change of chair

He will give up his seat when the chairpersons meet

An-dy Karplus
‘
Cuz he’s finished his term he ignores calls from
Sherm
An-dy Karplus

It was nuts – when the budget cuts – kicked us in the butts

Now he acts with no peril

Like the crack – Beaver quarterback – gives it to his back

He hands IT off to Merrill
It’s OK to refuse writing THE year end news

An-dy Karplus

Doesn’t need to appraise how he gives us
TAs
for the term

He can roll his eyes – when the Dean organizes 
the col-lege

Now he’s back in the pack and we’re happy he’s back

An-dy Karplus
If the staff’s in revolt he will not feel the jolt
An-dy Karplus (An-dy Karplus)
And there’s zero remorse over THE challenge course
An-dy Karplus (An-dy Karplus)

No one brings – petty little things – venting of their spleens

To command his attention

He just grins – when the term begins – bureaucratic spins

Will not cause hypertension (hypertension)

If there IS gloom or doom and the source is the Bloom

Andy Karplus (Andy Karplus)


He can take a back seat as his work is complete that’s for sure
(slowly) And can say “Golly shucks. That most certainly sucks” 
with comPOSure

Filled with glee he’s now free acting SAB-bat-ic-ly Andy Karplus
