Gov. Rick Scott has conjured up a 12th university that Florida cant afford and nobody but outgoing Polk County Sen. J.D. Alexanderthinks Florida needs.
So now, here we are. Theres not much left to do but write the alma mater theme song for the unfortunately-acronymed Florida Polytechnic University (FPU).
I would like to volunteer this one, original words and music to "This Time I Know Its For Real" by Donna Summer, Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman. Click on the video below to refresh your memory on how the tune goes -- and sing along!
Nothin that I wouldnt do
For J.D. Alexander U
Hes the man
From Polk County
Holds a lot of power over you and me
Ben Hill Griffin in the sky
Looks at this and wants to cry
Rick Scott is crazy just to let this go
If he was sane wed get a fast veto
JD Poly sucking down all of the dough
This storys oh-so-surreal
Legislators phoned home
Big Tim Nickens got a megaphone
Nancy Smith at Sunshine State News
Tried to find a way
To send a message to you
Rick Scott signed right on the dotted line
Sayin screw you to the St. Pete Times
Rick Scott is crazy just to let this go
USF Poly its a tale of woe
Its a great big crock and we will never know why
This storys oh-so-surreal
Oh JD
This time, this time, this time, this time
Oh JD
This time, this time
Ben Hill Griffin in the sky
Thinks that Rick must be high
Rick Scott is crazy just to let this go
USF Poly its a tale of woe
Its a great big crock and we will never know why
This storys oh-so-surreal
Rick Scott is crazy just to let this go
USF Poly its a tale of woe
Its a great big crock and we will never know why
This storys oh-so-surreal
