'Raise Your Books'
Right, Right, the end's in sight
But i'm going to lose my mind tonight
What's the dealio?
Good God it's all too much
5 AM since I've been up,
What does sleep feel like?
Facebook chatting, so distracting
Hit me up on like-a-little
Blonde-haired babe
What's your name?
Why so serious?
So raise your books if you are stressed
From all this schoolwork
All my undergrads, you are not alone, not alone
We're all in this crowd
Like a city: Jocks, the preps, and geeks
Won't you come on and, come on, and
Raise your books
Just come on and come on and
Raise your books!
Cram cram, time for exams
What part of quiet don't you understand?
I've been up all night!
Why can't I find a spot?
I've been searching since 10 O'clock
What a waste of time
Facebook chatting, so distracting
Hit me up on like-a-little
Blonde-haired babe
What's your name?
Why so serious?
So raise your books if you are stressed
From all this schoolwork
All my undergrads, you are not alone, not alone
We're all in this crowd
Like a city: Jocks, the preps, and geeks
Won't you come on and, come on, and
Raise your books
Just come on and come on and
Raise your books!
(Aw shucks my battery died - this sucks!)
So if you're tired of worrying
If your degree means anything
There's something you should know
You could always, you could always
Study back at home...
So raise your...
So raise your books if you are stressed
From all this schoolwork
All my undergrads, you are not alone, not alone
We're all in this crowd
Like a city: Jocks, the preps, and geeks
(So listen) So listen up if you are stressed
It's almost summer
All my Stauffer peeps, we will soon be free, soon be free
Stop the Stauffer hate
It isn't healthy, take a little break!
Won't you come on and, come on and
Skip your class!
Just come on and, come on and
Hit the Brass!
Won't you come on and, come on and
Skip your class!
Just come on and, come on and
Hit the Brass!
With us!

[@123HeyitsBri]

[@Cuperdon]

I don't go to Stauffer enough to relate to this.

[@NailaJinnah]

I love QueensU! Fantastic job :)

[@jpickar]

Look, I loved my time at Queen's. And I'm glad stauffer kids got a good distraction. But I'm not gonna pretend that prangstgrup didn't do this way better in 06 with "Reading on a Dream"

[@KyomiHaru]

Thanks for helping me choose what university to go to :D

[@jessicabrynnangus]

If this had happened in Stauffer when I was at Queen's studying for exams, I would have lost it on someone.

[@hd92122]

Ah shit, can't study for exams now.. this is way to entertaining.

[@Imabelivaryou]

"oh Yeah ! Glee that shit up!"

[@drrainli]

YES JAAAACK

[@cas687]

[@muzic29]

@EreTheIre Not true. Well I don't know about undergrads, but i'm a grad student and i get most of my work done in the Grad Room at Stauffer.

[@MusiclifeofMine]

And win :))))

[@naseoj]

Christina Aguilera wail at 2:27 FTW

[@racergonemad99]

How come nothing like this ever happens at york... lol

[@silentruth]

queens library is pretty

[@benmatrob]

at 3:03 - that guy has NO idea anything is going on with his massive noise cancelling headphones

[@Gw3nie]

I totally chose the wrong Uni to go to.. UGH U of O step up! I WANT TO RAISE MY BOOK AND BREAK INTO SONG!

[@markj806]

Musicals and studying together is some sort of special hell I hope I never experience. Spontaneous singing is just awkward for everyone.

[@xBaitMyScenex]

so many hot girls at Queen's.

[@lilOldMe12]

be nice if we could get some subtitles/lyrics posted

[@LiviaHorseLover]

im pretty sure queens university is the only university ;)

[@MondayFever1]

where are you Dear Stauffer Friends.... lol

[@ManiacalMaster]

WHITE AND PURPLE FOR EVER

[@wattsy48]

It doesnt sound very 'Spontaneous' but nonetheless a great way to relieve some stress for students. Kudos

[@AlcubierreWarp]

lol. It was good, but I think they needed louder music - it sounds as if they're out of step with the music quite a bit. Overall though, quite good!

[@eddiehosa]

and that is why i preferred douglas over stauffer when i was still in school

[@bbturnbull]

@hivaidsislethal Cheer up, grumpy.

[@climbingorangutan]

[@anolivenamedalex]

[@macgirl87]

it's pretty cute...but not really that high-quality in terms of musicality/acting, sorrryyy but it's true. still cute though. queens kids, they try.

[@beateasy]

and this is why i DON'T go to Queen's..

[@TheJoush13]

[@hersheykisses72724]

TWO suicides?? i thought it was 1?

[@jessicabrynnangus]

@mpanda1000 Actually I disliked it and I am a Queen's alum twice over.

[@dereksmall4311]

Meh i would of expelled all of them

[@MatthewCasey]

This is obnoxious and I would have just left the library if they pulled this shit.

[@jordanlambert8]
