Ruth's Remarkable Parodies
More Ruth's Remarkable Parodies

Ruth "Takes it Easy", a la the Eagles

Well, I've been gradin' up a storm;
My red pen is getting warm
I've got a million essays on my desk
Some that are appalling
Some that leave me bawling
And some that are at best suspect.

Wear your t-shirt; wear your t-shirt
Don't let the lack of MLA
drive you crazy
Wear the purple and the gold
Take a stand that’s truly bold
Just give a scholar a toehold
and wear your t-shirt.

Well, I'm lounging in my office
In Glendale, Arizona,
Such a fine sight to see,
It's Mr. B., by Jove,
in a shirt that's mauve
waiting for Friday to don his t.

Come on, cooleagues, don’t be fatigued
We gotta know that our greenbacks
are gonna help folks.

We may rave and we may rant,
but stop giving we just can't;
so open up, just pay your buck
and wear your t-shirt

Well, I'm sittin' here tonight
tryin' to make this song work right
got a world of rhyming on my mind;
lookin' for a vowel sound
it needn't really astound
but it's so hard to find

Wear your t-shirt; wear your t-shirt
Don't let the last few weeks of school
drive you crazy
Write no wrongs while you still can;
someone may yet understand;
Just find a place to dress your best
and wear your t-shirt.


Yee-hah; I'm off to ride the range in my Ford V-8!
