Institute of the Yeti (original)

Sometimes a Yeti reads something on the internet and gets really excited about it.

Did you hear the news? They're starting a special school
And institute- a scientific centre
In Siberia- the first of its kind in the world
And as soon as I can sign up I'm going

My friends all think it's weird; they say it's a mistake
They point out all the things going against me. They say

You live in a cave way out in the snow
And whether you're even real or not nobody seems to know
And that's not gonna change just cause you've got some degree
From the Institute of the Yeti

I know my footprints never seem to convince
It doesn't matter how many branches I break or how many signs I leave
Photographs and videos are never good enough
And witnesses- nobody believes

But that doesn't get me down; I'll pass every test
And when I give the valedictory address I'll say

I lived in a cave, way out in the snow
And whether I was even real or not nobody seemed to know
I'm gonna make it after all now that I've got my degree
From the Institute of the Yeti

So listen up you homo sylvestrus
Sasquatch, Yowie, Yeren, Wendigo
Almasti, Skunk ape, Woodwose, and Orang Pedek
There isn't any reason not to go

Just follow my example; you'll be myths no more
They can't deny you exist when you're certified

Whether you live in a swamp or in a cave out in the snow
And how many of you there really are nobody seems to know
No, that's all gonna change when you've got your degrees
From the institute of the Yeti

Yes, finally a school that's made just for you and me
It's the Institute of the Yeti

Wonderfully clever and imaginative song, Mary-Anne! Funny but a little poignant too. Imagine having a hard time convincing people that you exist.

Thanks, Ronin. I just hope the Institute is accredited- otherwise the yeti will have to spend a lot of time convincing people that the degree is real.

This is great. It's funny. It's original. Who would think to write a song called "Institute of the Yeti?" I love it.

Degree or not, you'll never find us!
