Plagiarism Song (for Martha)

Who’s Cheatin’ You
(parody of "Who’s Cheatin’ Who" by Jerry Hayes)

Anywhere you look, you can find a book
On the topic that your professor gave.
It’s easy as can be, and it’s all online for free:
Highlight, copy, paste, and save.

But still I wonder
Who's cheatin' you, when you’re untrue?
Does anybody care anymore?
It makes me wonder
Who's hitting heights with research tonight?
Who’s out stealing some more?

He thought he wrote so well that I really couldn’t tell
That he’d copied all the pages and the notes.
But the grammar wasn’t his; does he think that I’m a ditz?
I can tell which parts he wrote.

But still I wonder
Who's cheatin' you, when you’re untrue?
Does anybody care anymore?
It makes me wonder
Who's hitting heights with research tonight?
Who’s out stealing some more?

Yes, your grade is on the line each and every time
Words are stolen in the shadows of the night.
Though it's wrong all along you keep it going on,
And when I catch you, you put up a fight.

But still I wonder
Who's cheatin' you, when you’re untrue?
Does anybody care anymore?
It makes me wonder
Who's hitting heights with research tonight?
Who’s out stealing some more?
