Junior In A Foreign Freshman Dorm



Junior In A Foreign Freshman Dorm
by J. Michnovicz

I'm an international student, thank God England let me in
And I'm a little freaked 'cause its a place I've never been
But now I put my rubbish not in a trash can but a bin
And calling trousers "pants" seems to be a cardinal sin
And I'm sitting in my room, and its tiny, so tiny
And my shower pod thing looks like it might have once been shiny, but not any more

Chorus.
Now I'm a junior in a foreign freshman dorm
But college for me was already the norm
And to come out here I had to fill out a billion forms
Now I'm a foreign student in a freshman dorm

Now I've been here for three months and one half
And so far it has been a pretty good laugh
But I can't seem to sleep a whole night intact
Swish swish, bang bang, those kitchen doors are crap
And laundry out here is costing me a fortune
But that soup I made last week yielded me five portions

Chorus.
’Cause I'm a junior in a foreign freshman dorm
And college for me was already the norm
And going through customs I had to fill out another form
Now I'm a foreign student in a freshman dorm

Its Christmas time in our British college kitchen
And it’s in here that we eat way too much chicken
We're drinking coffee 'cause it's class that we are ditchin’
And when we need more soap, we all have to pitch in
And I'm just worried that we're all gonna get salmonella
Cause none of the dishes seem to be washed right by the fellas in here

Chorus.
But I'm a junior in a foreign freshman dorm
And college for me was already the norm
And now that I’m here, I’m still filling out forms
’Cause I'm a foreign student in a freshman dorm

Bridge.
And if I could mention just one more thing
It’s that out here I'm old enough to drink

Chorus.
Now I'm a junior in a foreign freshman dorm
But college for me was already the norm
And to go back home I’ll have to fill out another form
Now I'm a foreign student in my British freshman dorm
