Financial Aid

Written by Heather Newton

Performed in 1984
Sung to the tune of Favorite Things

Pell Grants that come at the government's bequest,
Loans to be paid back at twelve percent interest,
Scholarships won from my town's Lady's Aid,
These are all part of my financial aid.

Child support checks from a dad who feels guilty,
Work study jobs washing dishes at Kiltie,
All summer earnings that I've ever made,
These are all part of my financial aid.

Grants from my state for a few hundred guineas,
Grants that don't cost C-MU one damn penny,
Money adjusted according to grades,
These are all part of my financial aid.

When the bill comes,
Yes, the bill comes,
When I'm feeling sad.
I simply remember my financial aid,
And then I know I've.....been HAD!
