Lyrics:
Well, my paper's due at midnight
And I can't get the layout just right
With an underfull h-box
And an emergency stop
And I write it up in LaTex

Well my labels may have changed
so I'll run my code again
Well I wait so long for my recompile
And I write it up in Latex

oh oh oh write it up in LaTex
oh oh oh write it up in LaTex
Well I'm cursing Knuth
While I typeset my proof
And I write it up in LaTex oh oh oh oh

So I looked all over the page
And I couldn't find my image
The placement's peculiar
Where the hell is my figure
And I write it up in LaTex

I'll spell-check *.tex
To make sure that it's correct
If I had my way
I'd switch to Word today
But I write it up in LaTex

chorus

Well, my paper's due at midnight
And I can't get the layout just right
With and underfull h-box
And an emergency stop
And I write it up in LaTex

I'll spell-check *.tex
To make sure that it's correct
If I had my way
I'd switch to Word today
But I write it up in LaTex
oh oh oh write it up in LaTex
oh oh oh write it up in LaTex
Well I'm cursing Knuth
While I typeset my proof
And I'm cursing Knuth
While I typeset my proof
And I curse Knuth
While I typeset my proof

oh oh oh ...

oh oh Write it up in LaTex (4x)

oh oh oh ...

TeX, TeX, TeX...
LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX...
