Lyrics

How can we learn muscles on a cat?
Heather helps us dig beyond the fat.
And if we’ve got a microbe to ID,
The person we should bug is Hilary.

And if you were to leave we'd muddle through,
But the college would be poorer without you.

And now that you’ve been recognized
For hard work and devotion,
I second that promotion!
Your duties and your wages
May not quite reflect this notion,
But I second that promotion!

Now, students wanting bachelor’s degrees
Rely on two main guys to meet their needs.
Jeff leads field trips all around the Sound,
And Ricky is the one who’s young and loud. :-)

And if you were to leave we'd muddle through,
But the college would be poorer without you.

And now that you’ve been recognized
For hard work and devotion,
I second that promotion!
Your duties and your wages
May not quite reflect this notion,
But I second that promotion!
