Don 't bring the answers in on bits of paper
And don 't be crude and write them on your cuff
The proctors would catch on to such a caper
And you can bet they'd get you soon enough
Don 't write them on your thumbnail, that's the worst place
Don 't write them in the lining of your hat
You really shouldn't be here in the first place
If you can 't be more original than that
Against such things they have a justified rule
They expel you without benefit of doubt
But if you hide the answers in your slide rule
It's 8 to 5 that no one will find out
Yes
If you hide the answers in your slide rule
It's 8 to 5 that no one will find out
