Phish — Alumni Blues lyrics

Lyrics

Woke up this morning and I had those Walking Blues
I wasn’t walkin' nowhere 'cause I didn’t have no floor!
Staring over the edge of the bed
My old lady lying next to me, I started to cry
She said «I'm gonna take this diploma,
I’m gonna slice you in the eye!»
Well I’m alright (he's alright)
'cause I got a degree!
Escaping through my window
There’s a policeman on the lawn outside my home
I opened my mouth to scream but my throat was full of foam
So I’m sittin' in this cell
My fortune dwindled to a thimble full of filth
I may spend the rest of my life in jail but at least it’s got a floor!
