Association song

— Lyrics by board 4, 5 & 7 —

a long, fun week ahead
full of fun activities, you know I will not forget
and I know where I will be in my prime
at the hour of study time
the Honors Room is where we’ll be

but the exams made me shiver
with every answer I considered
barely studied nor slept
I couldn’t take one mis-step
I can’t remember if I cried
when it laid out my fragile pride
something touched me deep inside
one day I’ll actually try!

so, hi-hi, we are Blue, Black, and White
drove my Bentley to the uni but the coffee’s too light
so them good ol’ board were being very polite
singing “This association’s alive”
“The top 3% is alive!”

now for the logo we all do love
it was like a gift from god above
designed on a plain beer mat
now who doesn’t love those aesthetic shades
or those angelically ambiguous shapes
and praise the one who chose that rounded font

but please watch out with what you say,
’cause before you know, it will be on display
inappropriate or not
in the Quote it won’t be forgot-ten!
and some will be put on the spot,
more than others if they want to or not
it’s out of context, don’t explain
but that’s… just all… the fun!

I started singing
so, why- why, are my grades not so high?
barely studied, but for honors, I did qualify
and the others students managed getting by
singing “One day I’ll be an honors guy”,
“One day I’ll be an honors guy!”

since jan ‘16 we’ve been on our own,
for which we all sing to this tone now
DI-ES is our true party
when together we sang oh-so proudly,
happy birthday at the TU/e
the honors room is where we’ll be

Oh, we love our free coffee machine
a caffeine kick is all we need
the Honors room was praised
the hard work was faced
and while you try to study or slouch
with Mal and Vicktor on the couch
And now for the checkmate we vouch
this place just feels like home

so, hi-hi, we are Blue, Black, and White
drove my Bentley to the uni but the coffee’s too light
so them good ol’ board were being very polite
singing “This association’s alive”
“The top 3% is alive!”

Monthly Dinner and a good drink after
We ate the food, I could hear the laughter
Eight weeks passed, and they went faaaaaaaaaaaast
Cakes and pies at aaan high tea
Where members joined, all so happily
With the prospect of the tosti lunch at last

Now the time was there for fancy dress
While musicians played some catchy jazz
We all got up to dance
Oh at the gala is your chance
Cause the vibe was there for all to feel
Excitement never seemed to yield
Ever since the theme was revealed
Until the music died

So, hi-hi, we are Blue, Black, and White
Boiled the kettle, got a teabag cause the coffee’s too light
So them good ol’ board were being very polite
Singing “This association’s alive”
The top 3% is now 5

So, hi-hi, we are Blue, Black, and White
Drove my Bentley to the uni but the coffee’s too light
So them good ol’ board were being very polite
Singing “This association’s alive”
“The top 3% is alive!”
“This association’s alive”
“The top 3% is alive!”
