                Retrospection
                (Auld Lang Syne)

1. O Tech, as I look back to thee,
    My eyes are filled with tears
    I'll ne'er forget the place in which
    I spent such wretched years.

Chorus...
       And as I look upon my life,
       Which is a total wreck,
       I wish that I'd been sent to jail
       Before I went to Tech!

2. The old professors sour and cross
    To whom I did recite,
    How pleased they'd be when I would fail,
    How sad when I'd be right.
    Chorus...

3. The faculty, their cursed vote
    With pain I did receive,
    Informing me in gleeful tones
    That I would have to leave.
    Chorus...

4. The things I studied while at Tech,
    Such useless, foolish truck!
    I've used this knowledge just two times,
    And each time I got stuck.
    Chorus...
