… sue my alma mater,” Strauss says.
[Sung to the tune (roughly) of I am the very model of a modern major general.]
************************
It’s with a heavy heart that I sue my alma mater.
She told me I’d be corporate and hang around with yachters.
But now my only money comes from representing frotteurs.
It’s with a heavy heart that I sue my alma mater!
(Chorus: It’s with a heavy heart that he sues his alma mater!)
Of course I knew the legal school was something of a rotter
It’s easy to name hundreds that are seriously hotter
But who can have foreseen it was a job-inflating plotter?
It’s with a heavy heart that I sue my alma mater.
(Tis with a heavy heart that he sues his alma mater!)
I thought I’d face the world with quite enormous wealth and hauteur
I’d supper out at Sotheby’s and breed Italian Trotters
But now my only clients are malodorous old trottoirs
It’s with a heavy heart that I sue my alma mater.
(Yes with a heavy heart does he sue his alma mater.)

Pretty good. Gilbert & Sullivan tunes are great for doing modern parodies; I did one here: ruler of the auto industree
