People have been asking me to put up the lyrics for the spoof song "CSSD", so finally I've got round to doing it! To the tune of "Under the Sea"...
At Somebody else's Uni,
The hours are always less.
You dream about weekday parties,
No need to obsess or stress.
But look at the world around you,
They're stuck behind desks all day,
And when their degree is finished,
Their life is all work, no play!
CSSD! CSSD!
Life here's traumatic,
Always dramatic,
Take it from me!
Most other students sleep all day,
Knee high in books they slave away!
We take delight in
Costume and Lightin'!
CSSD!
At Central, the students are happy,
Their course is it's own reward!
Sure, their hours are long and tiring,
But, at least they are never bored!
Our job hopes are rare and scanty,
We could end up on the street!
But if we can make it big time,
The World will be at our feet!
CSSD! CSSD!
It's gonna char you,
Mentally scar you,
Just wait and see!
We're what our parents love to hate,
Praying to God we end up straight!
There can be no biz
Out there like show biz,
CSSD!
The props are the tops,
The sound are renowned,
LX are complex,
And PAs profound,
Designers are fine,
And Costume, divine!
The DSMs rule all!
The DATE are so great,
MTs sing with glee,
The puppets are muppets
I guarentee!
The stage hands are grand,
TMs lend a hand,
And actors, they enthrall!
CSSD! CSSD!
Life in the spotlight,
Stars shining out bright
For all to see.
RADA and LAMDA are OK....
But next to us they fade away!
Central's the shizzle,
You get m' nizzle!
CSSD!
(key change!)
CSSD! CSSD!
Life here is sweeter,
We've got the beat here,
Take it from me!
We've got the edge on all the rest,
Central's undoubtedly the best!
You can't repeat it,
No-one can beat it,
CSSD!
You'll want to stay for
Years and days more,
CSSD!
We're off the hook here,
Don't need no books here,
We've got the wattage
Down at Swiss Cottage,
Guess we're in luck here,
Thank God we're stuck here!
CSSD!
Hope you enjoy for many moons to come,
Ollie M
