Summer Greek Song

In carrying on the tradition of parody song writing for class, here is the Summer Greek Camp edition.

Summer Greek (Summer Nights)

Summer Greek had me a blast
Summer Greek happened so fast
I met a lion cute as can as can be
Met a boy, doughy you see

Summer days driftin’ away
To oh-oh that summer Greek
Tell me more, Tell me more
Did you find all the nouns
Tell me more, Tell me more
Participles abound

Found a verb it was ερχομαι
3rd principle part, made me sigh
In the paradigms I nearly drowned
Ending and augments left me splashing around
Summer sun, Greek has begun
Well, oh-oh that summer Greek

Tell me more, Tell me more
2nd Aorist changes its stem
Tell me more, Tell me more
αυτοις means to them

Recognition that’s where it starts
Brackets and underlines etched on my heart
It is marked, what to do now?
Identify, please show me how
Without translation, don’t mean a thing
Well oh-oh that summer Greek

Tell me more, Tell me more
Some words add a nu
Tell me more, Tell me more
Better than losing your mu

Doughboy ran off, found a girlfriend
Both got lost, but returned at the end
Even Aslan came in from the hall
We’re ready for Bi 216 in the fall

First year dreams, we’re full to the seams
No more, ooh, Summer Greek
