Alumni Blues Lyrics - Phish (the White Tape) - Phish

Woke up this morning and I had those Walking Blues (x2) 

I wasn't walkin' nowhere 'cause I didn't have no floor! 

Staring over the edge of the bed 

My old lady lying next to me, I started to cry (x2) 

She said "I'm gonna take this diploma, 

I'm gonna slice you in the eye!" 

Well I'm alright (he's alright) (x9) 

'cause I got a degree! 

Escaping through my window 

There's a policeman on the lawn outside my home (x2) 

I opened my mouth to scream but my throat was full of foam 

So I'm sittin' in this cell 

My fortune dwindled to a thimble full of filth (x2) 

I may spend the rest of my life in jail but at least it's got a floor! 

Chorus
