Roll a Pair-a-Dice

Lyric copyright Dennis Pearl
may be sung to the tune of "Big Yellow Taxi" (Joni Mitchell)

They rolled a pair-a-dice
and put up a frequency plot.
With a link in Excel, a critique
and a pleasing dot plot.
Don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what you've got
till you plot.
So roll a pair-a-dice
and put up a frequency plot.

They took all the tree diagrams
and put 'em in a tree museum.
And they charged all the people
a dollar-and-a-half just to see 'em.
Don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what you've got
till you plot.
So roll a pair-a-dice
and put up a frequency plot.

Hey student student
put away those Greek letters now
Give me dots and scatterplots
and I'll give you the A's and the B's.
Please!
Don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what you've got
till you plot.
So roll a pair-a-dice
and put up a frequency plot.

Late last night I
heard she'd seen your final exam.
And made big yellow marks where she
took away points for no plan.
Don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what you've got
till you plot.
So roll a pair-a-dice
and put up a frequency plot.

I said
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till you plot.
So roll a pair-a-dice
and put up a frequency plot.

They rolled a pair-a-dice
and put up a frequency plot.
They rolled a pair-a-dice
and put up a frequency plot.
