lyrics

I’ve got 25 thousand in federal loans
And another 10 thousand from Wells Fargo
With interest on top that’s a whole lot of debt
And I am only an undergraduate
There’s a lot of folks out there in the same boat as me
But I thought I'd try paying off my debt creatively
I wrote this song to someone kind and generous
Did I mention I think you’re cute, Ellen Degeneres?

Ellen I need need need need need need you help
Cuz I got 35 thousand things to do by myself
Would you please please throw this undergrad a bone
And help me pay off some of my student loans

There’s no time to be subtle, I got no right to hint this
Maybe you could just help me with the interest
Do you see the desperate look in my eyes
My education wasn’t all subsidized
Well I got hard working parents and a loving home
But I worked three jobs my senior year alone
I took a lot of cool classes and met really smart folks
But now I’m singing to you, Ellen, to pay off my student loans

Ellen I need need need need need need you help
Cuz I got 35 thousand things to do by myself
Would you please please throw this undergrad a bone
And help me pay off some of my student loans

I don’t want to start complaining about the job market
Cuz my 4 year degree might land me a sweet gig at Target
I don’t like quitting and I’ve never been fired
If you don’t want to pay for nothing, I’m always for hire
I just want to find a job that’s interesting to me
And you could bring me some peace and security
You gotta I'm not looking for a fortune
But I would much rather cat-sit for you and Portia

Ellen I need need need need need need you help
Cuz I got 35 thousand things to do by myself
Would you please please throw this undergrad a bone
And help me pay off some of my student loans
Ellen I need need need need need need you help
Cuz I got 35 thousand things to do by myself
Would you please please throw this undergrad a bone
And help me pay off some of my student loans
