“Summer Clerkin’”

Not strictly IP related… but it is a parody of a copyrighted work, so I guess it counts!

From “Schiess All That,” the 2009 musical produced by Assault & Flattery at the University of Texas School of Law.
Summer clerkin’, had me a blast
Summer clerkin’, went by so fast

Met a judge who ruled for me
Met a partner who does IP

Summer days, no work all play
Then uh-oh, those summer nights

Well-a well-a well-a oomph!
Tell me more, tell me more

Man they filled me with booze

Tell me more, tell me more

Took us all on a cruise

Uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh

Had a Starbucks on the first floor
Venti lattes made us work more

Billing hours; watching the clock
My first paycheck was such a shock

Summer fools, we worked like mules,
but uh-oh those summer nights

Well-a well-a well-a oomph!
Tell me more, tell me more

But you dont gotta brag

Tell me more, tell me more

‘Cause it sounds like a drag

Shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, shoo-bop bop, YEAH

Wrote a memo, they said its crap
Five mimosas, then got the clap

Deposed a witness; I had no clue!
Really effed up; our client’s screwed

Summer jobs, not qualified
But uh-oh, those summer nights

Woah oh oh

Tell me more, tell me more

Went on weekend retreats

Tell me more, tell me more

Bonded under the sheets!

How debauchrous law firms can be!
Can’t believe that they’re hiring me

We’ll enjoy our last year of class
Cause next year they own my ass

Summer clerks, now we’re 3Ls
A-nd oh, this year will be hell

We’re so screwed, we’re so screwed
