A Song Parody

to the tune of:

"The Very Model of a Modern Major-General"

 

It is the very model of a modern university
Located in a very nice and easy-to-endure city
It offers many subjects from Accounting through Zoology
For both the fourth year cynics and the frosh who cry "Gosh! Golly gee!"
I often find my courses so delightful and enjoyable
Even if they may leave me entirely unemployable
Though when it comes to Stats, it seems my brain shuts down and cycles off
The only thing more boring is a co-op term at Microsoft

The only thing more boring is a co-op term at Micro-micro-soft

It is the very model of a modern university
A campus full of buildings of an infinite diversity
While some are simple in design like Physics and Optometry
The steps in Needles Hall defy Euclidean geometry
UW is famous for its nightmares architectural
Like both the Davis Centre and the Engineering Lecture Hall
And clearly Hagey Hall is like the maze inside Psychology

Unless you get tuition paid by scholarship or bursary
You won't be out of debt until your golden anniversary
And should you fail to graduate, the registrar says "Sorry, eh.
You'll have to leave UW and go to Wilfrid Laurier"
