This piece was inspired by a pre-existing song by Weezer (titled The Good Life) and transformed into a parody version of the song, altering references of elderly woes and party life to feelings and activities associated with (TCU) college life and activities.

When I look in the mirror,
I can’t believe what I see
Tell me, who’s that funky Frog,
staring back at me
Grown-up, beaten down,
can’t even get around
Without seven alarms,
I fall and hit the ground.
Shivering in the cold
The wifi signal’s low
—
Excuse the bitching,
I shouldn’t complain,
At least I’m not a Sooner
Their fight song’s a pain
As Bookstore orderings
Are denied me
And guaranteed housing
is taken away from me
But who do I got to blame? Nobody but me
—
And I don’t wanna be a senior anymore!
It’s been almost four years since I was out on the floor
Researching papers, chanting “Riff Ram,” “Horned Frogs! Fight!”
It’s time I got back to the Froggy life
It’s time I got back! It’s time I got back!
I need to make sure I graduate on track!
I wanna go back, yeah!
—
Screw this crap, I’ve had it!
I ain’t no Baylor fool!
I’m a TCU Frog!
so ‘scuse the eye-blood pool
I ain’t gonna hurt nobody,
Ain’t gonna cause a scene
Just need to admit that I want 12-0 for my team
Hear me, hear me I want 12-0 for my team
—
I don’t wanna be a senior anymore!
It’s been almost four years since I was out on the floor
Singing choir, chanting “Riff Ram,” “Horned Frogs, Fight!”
It’s time I got back to the Froggy life
It’s time I got back! it’s time I got back!
And got away from that scary study book stack!
I wanna go back, yeah!
—
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
Even if I don’t even know that my job won’t be whack
It’s time I got back, it’s time I got back
I can’t let all my credits be wasted for jack
I wanna go back, yeah
—
And I don’t wanna be a senior anymore!
It’s been a year or two since I was out on the floor
Cheering, winning, chanting “Riff Ram!” “Horned Frogs, Fight!”
It’s time I got back to the good life
It’s time I got back! it’s time I got back!
It’s been a good life, but I can’t stop and slack!
It’s time I got back! it’s time I got back!
I’ll graduate and make sure my life’s on track!
I wanna go back, I wanna go back!
