Let me tell you 'bout a girl who's breaking my heart

She decided lately to get smart

She read an article that changed her life

So tired of working in a factory

She joined the Open University.

We used to have a lot of fun you know

Spend our money and away we'd go

But now whenever I go round to call

She's reading Lawrence and T. H. Huxley

With the Open University.

INSTRUMENTAL

She never cared for school - such a drag

Now she's qualification mad

She's corresponding like a politician

Her main objective is an arts degree

God help the Open University.
