The Lyrics

A parody of an folk ballad about the 'good cop/bad cop' routine of recruiting sergeants in the 18th century adapted to a more modern setting.
Two young recruiters came to the job fair,
For teaching abroad they had hoped to ensnare,
And hour by hour they’d beckon and say:
“Sign up you English majors come away!”

It’s over the mountains and over the seas,
It’s teaching a language to do as you please.
No worries for the pay and high mobility!
Sign up you English majors and come away with me!

You don’t know the market, it’s flooded to the brim,
And all of your prospects, they seem rather grim –
Now tell me what you do with a an English degree?
Sign up you English majors and come away with me!

Now let me ask you true: just how long could you stand,
With working dead wages in your native land?
But if you sign with us, then the world you can see!
Sign up you English majors and come away with me!

Oh what do you lose in this game we call life?
It’s nothing but anguish, and sorrow, and strife!
Just sign on the line and we will set you free!
Sign up you English major and come away with me!
