How To Take Your Son To College

A bittersweet lament, sung to the tune of "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," Paul Simon, circa 1975




You just clean out his space, Grace







Pack up his gear, Dear












You just get in the van, Jan






And get your son gone.

Drive on out to his school, Jewel

(Cry inside as you go, Flo)




One last hug and a kiss, Miss





And get your son gone.




Drop him off at his crib, Lib









Let your boy become a man, Fran


















Drive back home all alone, Joan






And get your son gone...

Get your son gone...

Get your son gone...................

Have a blessed day!

How bittersweet, eh? But this is what you've been working to prepare him for all his life. Be proud.
