Sleepy (Happy Finals Remix)

So this is finals week. Everyone who is surprised to see a new post this week obviously doesn't know me or how seriously I take procrastination. Rewriting song lyrics has always been a passion of mine. It's also an excellent social awkwardness defense mechanism for when I have no clue what the actual words are to a song everyone seems to know but me. Haven't we all been there before? I mean I shout all the lyrics to Mr. Brightside and people look at me like I'm crazy but I blank on a lyric to Sweet Home Alabama and get booed. Who decided that was a classic and The Killers aren't?

Anyway, to get you all through the torment that is finals week, I rewrote Pharrell's song Happy to be appropriate for the general mood this time of year. Enjoy!


It might seem crazy what I'm about to say
That's because it's finals, I haven't slept in days
I'm an over-worked undergrad ready to cry
I'm so tired I feel like I might die

Because I'm sleepy
Clap along if you feel like you know you're gonna fail
Because I'm sleepy
Clap along if you feel like finals week was Hell
Because it's crappy
Clap along if you know now why that reading was due
Because it's crappy
Clap along if you know that the worst grade goes to you

Here come bad grades in this and that
On the course evaluations I won't hold back
I wish I felt like I would be fine
All I can think about is summertime

Because I'm sleepy
Clap along if you feel like you know you're gonna fail
Because I'm sleepy
Clap along if you feel like finals week was Hell
Because it's crappy
Clap along if you know now why that reading was due
Because it's crappy
Clap along if you know that the worst grade goes to you

Sleepy
Let me go
Let me go to sleep
My mind is too tired
Let me go
Let me go to sleep
I said
Let me go
Let me go to sleep
My mind is too tired
Let me go
Let me go to sleep

Because I'm sleepy
Clap along if you feel like you know you're gonna fail
Because I'm sleepy
Clap along if you feel like finals week was Hell
Because it's crappy
Clap along if you know now why that reading was due
Because it's crappy
Clap along if you know that the worst grade goes to you
