"Tray Ride" to the tune of Sleigh Ride
This is ALL DAN FERNANDEZ'S FAULT. He came up with "Come on, it's lovely weather for a tray ride together with you" and I just HAD to run with it because I'm silly... I've been coming up with snippets of lyrics all morning/afternoon. It's kinda CMU-centric though.
"Tray Ride", to the tune of "Sleigh Ride",
awful lyrics (c) Deanna Rubin 2002
Just see those tray stacks dwindling,
Students swindling two,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a tray ride together with you.
Outside your friends are smiling
As work is piling on, too.
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a tray ride together with you.
Come on up, come on up, come on up, let's go
With trays from the O
We're sliding through a campus full of snow
Come on up, come on up, come on up, it's great
Just staying up late
We're riding along with the song
Of the fabulous Kiltie Band
Our cheeks are nice and ruddy and
Dirty muddy are we,
Our clothes are good and soggy;
Drying off in the lobby we'll be.
Let's ride our trays down Frew Street
Or Flagstaff, by CMU
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a tray ride together with you.
There's a Kiltie concert right now in the
Airport Lounge;
You can hear them making lots and lots of
Christmas sounds.
They'll be playing the songs they love to play
Without a single stop,
Doing "Sleigh Ride" over and over till they drop,
Plip plip plop!
All the snow on campus really can just mean
One thing,
You should be out sledding in it and not
Studying.
It is better for you to get destressed
So none of you will freak:
These final exams are the things
You'll forget about in a week!
Our eyes are nice and bleary
And tired dreary are we,
Our final projects waiting
For our snowy parading to flee.
We'll ride the hill by Donner
And then move onna Wean too,
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a tray ride together with you.

You know, two trays slapping together sounds quite a bit like a whip crack. And instead of a horse whinny at the end, you could have a "whee!".
