One year more
Another year into a law degree
A never-ending list of things to read
Who knew there were so many crimes
I'll never study this in time
One year more

I did not pass Property A
I'm more confused than when I started
We must improve our GPAs
Or else, firms will think we're retarded

One more year of legal drone
(Will we ever moot again?)
One more year of note preparing
(We should do the Law Revue)
How will I pay my HECS loan?
(No more boozing in Red Room)
Law exams are so unfair

One more year till I'm a clerk
(Come and join UQLS!)
I am gonna earn a fortune
(Buy an L Card for Law Ball!)
I will be a legal shark
(Come get pissed at the pub crawl!)
I will charge enormous fees

If you... sign up... you'll get... free BEER!

One year more!

One more year till graduation
Join the application race
We are Brisbane's biggest law firm
We are in Waterfront Place

Make 'em go to tutes, give 'em hard exams
Make 'em answer questions they don't understand
Here's a little lex, Latin's all the rage
Most of 'em can't even fill up half a page

One more year of few electives
(Charles Rickett please hear our call)
Why did you cut all our tutes?
(Increase funding for the moots!)
Our degree is now defective
(But we're still paying a tonne)
Here in Forgan Smith's West Wing!

I failed... trusts too... oh god... I'm SCREWED!!

One year more!

{OVERLAPPING LINES}

Next year I'll study every day
Next year it seems so far away
Next year we'll all have to return to the T.C. Beirne School of Law...

... for one more course
One more year
One year more!

Very talented law school.

[almostfamous83]

[oldmisfit]

is the guy thats singing at the begining the same 1 as the 1 that plays harry potter in ur harry potter scar thing?

[almostfamous83]

Yep, the same Italian, pube headed guy. ;)

[fallenimaginations]

you need to put subtitles on this. It's hard to understand what they are saying, but I think it's funny...Also, these performances are great, but there must be a better way to film them. It takes away from the video being so far back. But great job getting everyone involved. And I love Lesmis, so this is great.

That's why I didn't want to post too many of the live stuff just yet - it doesn't usually do the show justice. But there are things I want to put up which do kinda work on video. :)

"If you... sign up... you'll get... free BEER!" Grantaire would be proud of you!

"Valjean" is really good! This is really cool, considering that a bunch of the revoltionaries were law students..and they died...oh well. Guess y'all are too.

Loved that "Marius" was a failure.

[littlemabel]

Definately a favourite. Wonderfully sung and exceptionally clever (as usual).

Well done! Nice to see Brisbane UQ earning a name for itself on youtube.

[dumboe8899]

Bravo!!!! You are the reason Im going to law school.

[koken2]

I can't stop watching this, it's just brilliant, wonderful singing, I would love to join the law revue but I'm a business student :P

[enigma1326]

Oh yes, this song is not just for law, it's everywhere. It gets stuck in my head all the time.
