stanford fleet street singers - all-nighter lyrics
when the work piles high and your time is low
there comes a moment when you know
it’s time to grit your teeth and pull
an all-nighter!
it’s 8 o’clock on a sunday night and
well i’m feeling just fine!
i’ve got to write a 65-page paper
but i think i’ll finish it by nine!
it’s 9 o’clock before i know it
and i’ve barely begun!
i’ve still got 64 more pages left but
another hour and i’ll be done!
it’s 1 o’clock already and i don’t know what to do
i hope that i can finish this by morning—
gotta give up, that’s right
gotta stay up, all night
gotta be a fighter!
i’m pullin’ an all-nighter!
well now that i’ll be up ’til morning
i’ve got hours to spare!
i’ve got to build the perfect spotify playlist
so i can focus and prepare!
i’ll raid the kitchen and grab some chez-its
and then i’ll go online
to check my facebook one last one last
one last one last one last time!
i’ve got the perfect setup, yeah
this paper’s in the bag!
but then my limbs get heavy
and my eyelids start to sag
as long as i can shake myself awake
and keep on beaming
i know that i can keep myself from
keep myself from…
[spoken:]
where am i?
who am i?
it’s so… peaceful…
why must one… pull an all-nighter?
why can’t you push one?
i want to stay here forever…
no! no! no! no!
5am! 5am! 5am! 5am!
shove that unrefrigerated starbucks
double-shout espresso down your throat!
coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee coffee second wind!
sunrise—the birds are
judging you!
blue skies—your roommate’s
judging you!
i gotta give up, that’s right!
gotta stay up all night!
gotta keep working ’til
i know it’s all downhill!
gotta fight the urge to take
another study break
gotta keep sleep away
’til i see the light of day!
i’m pulling an all-nighter!
i’m pulling an all-nighter!
i’m pulling an all-nighter!
ahh—done!
