"UCI (Gonna Graduate)" Lyrics
©1987 Rob Mitchell and Clyde E. Gaines II

Oh oh
Here we go!

I've been at UCI for much too long
And all I've got to show is this damn song
When I leave this place I will not cry
Just flip the bird and wave goodbye

UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI

I got tons of books I did not read
Took lots of classes I did not need
And now I've got the world to face
That's okay, gonna leave this place

UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI

Now wait a second Clyde
This place ain't that bad
You should have seen
Some of the girls that I had
There was Carol, Melaina and Betty too
Dude, you were dreaming, that shit ain't true! (Oh yeah!)

UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI

Spent five (four) years in plastic city
Even lived in the dorms, now ain't that a pity
Middle Earth took my folks for megabucks
But worst of all, the dorm food sucks!

UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI

University of California at Irvine
Oh that name sounds just mighty fine
Gonna put it on my resume
And it better land me a good job some day.

UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI

UCI, UCI
UCI, UCI
UCI, UCI
UCI, UCI

Now I've been thinking and all-in-all
I guess you'd say I've had a ball
I've made some friends and learned things too
But now my UCI life's through

UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI, Gonna Graduate
UCI

UCI, Irvine
UCI, Irvine
UCI, Irvine
UCI

UCI, Newport
UCI, Costa Mesa
UCI, Tustin

UCI, Turtle Rock
UCI, Frisco
UCI, New York
