lyrics

I received my degree
From Coloring Book University
Alma Mater C.B.U.
We will be forever true
All hail our colors:
Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple, White, Green, Brown, Periwinkle and Blue

I majored in coloring and minored in coloring
Because that’s all you do at C.B.U.

You can take the Chemistry of Crayon Wax
And the required class Staying in the Lines
Which is of course a pre-requisite to
Shading Level Nine

My favorite class was Crayola History
The company was founded in 1909
Coloring should never be a mystery
No crayon left behind!

When I graduated from C.B.U.
I took up the only job I knew how to do
I colored coloring books and sold them on Ebay
Sometimes I would make fifteen cents a day

Eventually, I couldn’t pay the rent
All of my money had been spent
And when all my food was gone
I resorted to eating crayons

I decided I should no longer color
So I got a job where I muttered and I stuttered
Good evening, welcome to Gourmet Taiwan
Here’s a kid’s menu, would you like some cr-crayons?

That’s when I would break down and cry
I still missed Alma Mater C.B.U.
Without my colors, I could die!
Blue, Yellow, Pink, Purple, Orange, Razzle-dazzle Red, Macaroni and Cheese, and Midnight Blue

No crayon left behind (echo) X 1,000,000
