Statistician's BLUEs

Lyrics and music ©1994-2005 by Lawrence Mark Lesser

I've been mean-in' to tell ya 'bout my last co-relation,
I've been median to tell ya 'bout my last co-relation:
She wasn't from Haiti, but she was variation!
(unexplained and uncontrolled!)

I saw her with ANOVA man, and they were not discrete,
I saw her with ANOVA man, and they were not discrete--
I went proba-ballistic and let out a Pearson scream!
(those deviates! What a moment!)

Told her, "If you're gamma data me, mu beta change your mode.
If you gamma data me, mu beta change your mode.
Chi-square you'll be inference, if you random that road!
(you'll be confounded-- and skewed!)

Called up my dad: "Hi Pa! This is testing my heart!"
Yeah I told my dad: "Hypothesis testing my heart!"
He said, "What's your expectation? Ya met her at an X-bar."
(You're right, Dad! Simulator!)

She was my significant other -- significant at point-oh-three,
She was my significant other -- significant at point-oh-three,
But alpha get her soon -- as sample as can be!
(Time serious!)
Gonna reclaim my degrees of freedom -- as sample as can be!
