Y know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from UD
Nice and easy
But there’s just one thing
You see UD never does nothing
Nice and easy
She always does it nice and rough
So we’re gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we’re gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do Proud Mary
And we’re rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story
She left a law job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And she never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on earning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Ate a lot of roe in Russia
Had a chauffeured car in Gay Paree
But she never saw the good side of her marriage
Till she got a job at the UNC
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on earning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Well, you certainly have something to fall back on in case that whole English professor thing doesn’t work out….

Just to pick a nit: UNC != NCSU. I am pretty sure the she works in Raleigh rather than down the road in Chapel Hill.

Brian: Yes – you’re absolutely right. But try rhyming with NCSU… I think they’re all part of the same public university system for the state. Correct me if I’m wrong.

They are, UD, but the Chapel Hillians call NCSU Moo U. and that is about the nicest thing they say.
