"Harvard Plagiarist Heaven"

(Based on the Righteous Brothers'
“Rock and Roll Heaven") (Youtube)

Chorus:

If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
In Harvard plagiarist heaven
Well you know they’ll have a hell of a book– book– stand

Alan copied footnotes
And Doris ripped off some books in part
And Charles taught us all how to write a new way
Sing this song to Larry Tribe
Remember him that way
More than just a plagiarist

A hero, so he says

(Repeat chorus)

Remember bad, bad Ogletree
His students messed up with that book
Well time didn't change the 'Tree we hoped would grow
Ron Klain copied Abraham
Well "God Save" Tribe anyway
They'll all be there together, copying forevermore

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge:

There's a spotlight waiting
For Larry Tribe, the star
'Cause Ron Klain copied Henry Abraham

Larry Tribe’s the star

(Larry Tribe has got to be the star!)

Final chorus:

If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand
In Harvard plagiarist heaven
Well you know they’ll have a hell of a ‘stand

(Repeat x 2)
