A Rice Student about to graduate

Had a 80K job and died the next day

It's having to live on campus and eating CK

It's a Honor Council pardon two semesters too late

Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Chorus:

It's like having SNC at your college night

It's the pub serving only serving warm Schlitz Lite

It's SOSC 102 which you didn't need to take

Would a Rice student have thought it figures

Mr.Rice Pre-Med was afraid of having a life

Borrowed a fake ID and went to find his future wife

He waited his whole Rice career to go Sid College Night

And as the sofa from 4th crashed down he thought

"Well isn't this nice." And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Repeat Chorus

Well tuition fees have a funny way of creeping up on you

When you understand your classes and everything's going right,

And the administration has a funny way of helping you out

When you want a beer and the Pub blows up

In your face.

Ryan Levy asking you out on a date

A Politico flyer hidden in some CK cake

It's a cancelled test that you studied for all night

It's the girl who smokes too much

Asking you for a light

And isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

A little too ironic? and yeah we really do think.

Repeat Chorus

Well tuition fees have a funny way of creeping up on you

And the administration has a funny way of helping you out

Helping you out.
