As a child I dreamed that someday

When the time came, I'd go away

To BYU

That's what I'd do, Where I'd go.

But then the time came that I had to apply

Show my merits off to the Y

And when they saw all of my flaws,

They said, NO!

So,

It had to be the U, and not BYU

I had to admit that I couldn't quit a habit or two

And my GPA was less than okay

My transcripts I tried, wanted to hide, my 1.2

All others I've tried have also denied.

Even UVSC didn't want me, I was overqualified.

The Y told me no, the U they were thrilled.

With all of my faults, they took me still.

It had to be the U,

The Devil Red U

It had to be the U.
