Song Title:
“Lessons in Oddity”

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Walking down the [D] corridors of life,
[Em] Meeting faces, oh so [C] rife.
[G] Trying to find our [D] place,
[Em] In this vast human [C] race.

(Chorus)
[G] We are from the Odd [D] University,
[Em] Learning lessons in [C] oddity.
[G] With our hearts like an open [D] sea,
[Em] We are free, as free [C] can be.

(Verse 2)
[G] We find comfort in the [D] strange,
[Em] We dance in the pouring [C] rain.
[G] In a world that’s rather [D] plain,
[Em] We are the wild, we are [C] the untamed.

(Chorus)
[G] We are from the Odd [D] University,
[Em] Learning lessons in [C] oddity.
[G] With our souls like a wild [D] spree,
[Em] We spread love, we spread [C] glee.
