Corridors of Art School*

*Concept by Martin King

Playin' cool
Wanna rule, the
Corridors of Art School
Come the day I’ve found my way
Down the corridors of Art School

I fell in love on Open Day
                                                            Mind-blowing displays
The presses took my breath away
                                                            Bright shiny Enjays
The inks are calling. Must obey!
                                                            Why stand in their way?
Yeah, sign me up for my BA

Got my tool
Gonna roulette 
Corridors of Art School
Rockin' plates this sunny day
Down the corridors of Art School

Which print elective? Cannot choose
                                                                                   Don't know what to do
So many presses yet to use
                                                                                   Don't know what to choose
I’m sorry, can’t come out to play
                                                                                   Don't party 'till two
Got four assignments due today
 
Outa time and
Low on fuel
Corridors of Art School
Anybody seen my etching tool?
Down the corridors of Art School
 
Can’t hit the town
(Don’t hit the town)
I'm on hard ground
(You're on hard ground)
Bum up, head down
(Bum up, head down)
 
‘Nother essay
Overdue
Corridors of Art School
Gone and lost my etching tool
Down the corridors of Art School

Playin' cool
Wanna rule, the
Corridors of Art School
Makin’ waves in the talent pool
Down the corridors of Art School
