Tune: Chiquita banana song with la la la chorus. UC regents: hats and ties, suits/suit coats if you want, a little crazy works. Continually and gratuitously shake each others' hands in a macho, insider kind of way.
You're an official UC regent if you sing it with me on the 50th Anniversary of People's Park on April 28.

(I'm a) UC regent and I'm here to say
(we're) monetizing public lands in every way
(we spent) so much money on de football stuff
(no ) matter what the students pay it's not enough
la lala lala, la lala lala, la lala lala, lala lala la! (x2)

(we pay) ten million dollars to de football coach
(but in de) student housing you live with a roach
(you get) special admission if you've lots of dough
(and if you) cheated to get in well, we don't want to know
la lala lala, la lala lala, la lala lala, lala lala la! (x2)

(de) People's Park well she's a way too old
(and de) free speech stuff she really leaves me cold
(the People's) Park's a landmark but we don't care
once it's gone you won't remember it was there
la lala lala, la lala lala, la lala lala, lala lala la! (x2)

(Bridge:) 11,000 students more? let them sleep on someone's floor!
we've no place for them to go - they can commute from Fresno! Modesto!
la lala lala, la lala lala, la lala lala, lala lala la! (x2)

(it's been) fifty years and that's-a way too long
(the People's) Park should end-a just-a like our song
I'm a UC regent and I guarantee
(that if) somebody gets killed oh well it won't be me

la lala lala, la lala lala, la lala lala, lala lala la! (x2)
