The Procrastinator's Blues

to the tune of "Yesterday" by the Beatles

Yesterday
This damn essay seemed so far away
Now I have to lock myself away
And hand it in by one today

Suddenly
I'm more panicked than I used to be
There's a deadline hanging over me
Oh, yes, today came suddenly

Why it just won't go I don't know,
I couldn't say.
All the night is gone, now I long
For yesterday.

Yesterday
I could do it all the bullshit way
Turn it in and always get an A
Oh I was better yesterday

Why I let this go I don't know
But it's okay
It will all be through when it's due
At one today.

Yesterday
This damn essay seemed so far away
Now I've whiled another hour away
Oh, now I wish for yesterday

Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm-mmm.
