Professor
(played by Lewis M. Branscomb):
Now then, are there any questions,
Any problems, any questions?
If there are none, then I am done,
And I can bid you all good day.
For there's no reason I should stay here,
Since I've said all I have to say here.
If there are none then I am done,
I wish you luck on the examination.
And so my friends, I bid you all goodbye,
I hope you liked this course as much as I.
Goodbye, goodbye,
Goodbye to one and all I say goodbye.
Just one more thing -- and do not laugh,
I hope you'll take the second half:
Physics, Physics,
Physics 11b.
First student:
For
there's no reason I should stay here,
For I've said all I have to say here.
If there are none then I am done,
I wish you luck on the examination.
And so my friends, I bid you all goodbye,
I hope you liked this course as much as I.
Goodbye, goodbye,
Goodbye to one and all I say goodbye.
Just one more thing -- and do not laugh,
I hope you'll take the second half:

Now then, are there any questions,
Any problems, any questions?
If there are none, then I am done,
And I can bid you all good day.
For there's no reason I should stay here,
Ha, he asks if there
are any questions.
Holy smoke have I got questions!
I've got a ton, and every one,
Would take him half a day to do.
But I don't really want to stay here
Since he's said all he has to say here
But it's agreed that I shall need
Much more than luck on the examination.
And so I think I'll let him say goodbye
I guess that he is as relieved as I
Goodbye, goodbye,
Thank God the course is over now, goodbye
One thing he said that makes me laugh
He hopes I'll take the second half
Ha ha, ha ha, ha ha,
Don't make me laugh.
Ha, he asks if there are any questions
