Lyrics
39 in, 39 out, we all showed up on day one Nobody knew the chaos that was about to become Professors, classmates, late nights on Zoom By the time this thing is over, we'll have filled every room Paulo said, "Find someone dumber to buy what you sold" Dezso said the American dream is psychedelics and gold Judy's at the grocery store ready to, uh— anyway Rich said everything in finance is hypothetical, okay Anand said football's his job and teaching is the side "Don't tell the Dean" — meanwhile Dave's proving charts lied Kimbrough said "I'm scared" while the class got loud Kislaya said "Let's fire up Excel!" — the whole room was proud Jim Hurd dropped it clean: "Attitude reflects leadership" Andrew Sherman said tax avoidance is your patriotic relationship "We're all Jim Hurd" — and "nothing like saying we're superfucked" To get a response when your deal is stuck We know nothing for certain, but we showed up each week Learning in a classroom, on a rooftop, half asleep From Excel to accruals to GDP from the heart This cohort was chaotic — but that was the art 39 in, 39 out — and we all played our part Dasha said if you learn it drunk it sticks for life Jerquan negotiated to 1.5, shook hands like it's right "I said 1.2, they said bullshit" — that's the MBA way Close the gap in the middle, walk away with the play Wendy told Monica, "best presentation I've seen — not yours" Rajshree asked for Senthil's logic, he said none, of course Stacy said she believes in love, unlike these men Nick H was sobbing laughing — took a screenshot, then Brent knows the answer but can't say it right Tim's alarm clock will outlive him through the night "Calm down, Tim, it's just a bake sale" — Brent said it clean And Ira's smiling at his screen like he knows what it means We know nothing for certain, but we showed up each week Learning in a classroom, on a Zoom, half asleep From Excel to accruals to GDP from the heart This cohort was chaotic — but that was the art 39 in, 39 out — and we all played our part Dezso said: "Is it enough? What can I say? Take the risk." That's the thesis, that's the motto, write it down on the list Don't be the first penguin jumping through the ice Be the tenth — that's Andrew's advice "However comma" — Dave had his thing Cooking without spice — Drew K said it ain't worth anything "Let Kimbrough cook!" — Von E. let him breathe Tiffany said transformative leadership don't need a leave It all works out as long as it works out — Rich said so Kislaya's done his job, it's downhill, let's go "My job here is done" — but it never really was Because the cohort keeps on running just because 39 in, 39 out — but something stayed behind The quotes, the chaos, the people, the grind "We know nothing for certain" — that's the last thing said But we knew each other. That's enough instead.
