We Will Survive (Some Pre-Exam Encouragement by Suzie Chiodo)

At first I was afraid, I was so worried
Hadn't done all of the readings, had no summaries
But then I spent so many nights
Studying reams and reams of law
And now my head's spinning so bad
And I'm not worried any more

I'm gonna clerk, gonna get a place
If not, I'll swallow 15 beers and get completely off my face
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with your sighs
With your annoying 'does not compute'
Your vague answers, and your rolled eyes

But I don't care, I will survive
I'll pull consecutive all-nighters
And I will work up to the skies
Don't care what all these grants are for
Without them I'll still practice law
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept thinking I would end up stacking shelves at Wal-Mart
And I spent hour after hour getting all the answers wrong
Then I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And you see me, somebody who
When it comes to collateral warranties doesn't have a clue
Don't know which Charter test to pick
Can't get a handle on Ethics
But I'll just go to Molly Bloom's
And drink tequila till I'm sick

I will survive! We will survive!
Provided hangovers don't kill us I know we will stay alive
We've got all our lives to live
Expensive law advice to give
And we'll survive, we will survive, hey hey!
