Let me tell you 'bout a girl who's breaking my heart 
She decided lately to get smart 
She read an article that changed her life 
So tired of working in a factory 
She joined the 
Open University. 
We used to have a lot of fun you know 
Spend our money and away we'd go 
But now whenever 
I go round to call 
She's reading 
Lawrence and 
T. H. Huxley 
With the Open 
University. 
INSTRUMENT
AL She never cared for school - such a drag 
Now she's qualification mad 
She's corresponding like a politician 
Her main objective is an arts degree 
God help the 
Open University.
