Readin', Ritin', Rhythm - Helen Kane

I just found out I'm wasting time

With most of my education

You don't need Latin

You don't need Greek

It's no good for conversation

Throw away your LLD's

Your old MD's your PhD's

There's a million doctors carving

And a million lawyers starving

If you wanna eat

Here's the course complete

Called the RRR degree

Follow me with

Readin' ritin' rhythm

Get acquainted with 'em

Don't cut classes

How time passes now

Newest syncopation

Fluid syncopation

See those scholars

With wilted collars and how

You can cut biology

Psychology

Don't take it

Chemistry's

A mystery

And History

We'll make it

You'll do wonders with 'em

With your readin' and your ritin' and your rhythm

You'll go far with a RRR degree

RRR RRR

Readin' ritin' rhythm

Readin' ritin' rhythm

Readin' ritin' rhythm

Get acquainted with 'em

Let your dome work

Do your homework right here

And when you're home say brother

Teach it to your mother

"It's a sell out "

Let us yell out right here

Oh get your cap and gown

Come down

It's time for graduation

See those rows of saxophones

Oh you'll do wonders with 'em

With your readin' and your ritin' and your rhythm

You'll go far with a RRR degree
