About I Love College

"I Love College" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Asher Roth, released on January 13, 2009, as the lead single from his debut album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle (2009). The song, which was produced by Mike Caren, Apathy, and Ben H. Allen, also serves as Roth's commercial debut single, released by Schoolboy, SRC and Universal Motown. The song was later serviced for Airplay to radio stations in the United Kingdom, on April 27, 2009. The song is related to the time spent at West Chester University. The song originally sampled "Say It Ain't So", as performed by American rock band Weezer, but was reworked by Ben H. Allen, as it is believed that their lead singer Rivers Cuomo refused to clear the sample. The song also samples "10% Dis", as performed by MC Lyte.

I'm nice right now, I, I feel good
If you have a drink
Would you please put it in the air

That party last night was awfully crazy
I wish we taped it
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed
But my good friends is all I need
Pass out at three wake up at ten
Go out to eat then do it again

I wanna go to college for the rest of my life
Sip bankers club and drink miller lite
On thirsty Thursday and Tuesday night ice
And I can get pizza a dollar a slice
So fill up my cup
Lets get fucked up
I'm next on the table
Who want what
I am champion at beer pong
Allen Iverson Hakeem Olajuwon
Don't even bounce, not in my house
Better hope you make it
Otherwise you naked

Time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted
Woke up today and all I could say is

That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed
But my good friends is all I need
Pass out at three wake up at ten
Go out to eat then do it again

Man I love college (hey) and I love drinking (hey)
I love women (hey) man I love college

I can't tell you what I learned from school
But I could tell you a story or two
Um yea of course I learned some rules
Like don't pass out with your shoes on
And don't leave the house till the booze gone
And don't have sex if shes too gone
When it comes to condoms put two on
Then tomorrow night find a new joint
Hold the beer bong
Nothing wrong with some fun
Even if we did get a little bit too drunk

Time isn't wasted when you're getting wasted
Woke up today and all I could say is

That party last night was awfully crazy I wish we taped it
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed
But my good friends is all I need
Pass out at three wake up at ten
Go out to eat then do it again

Man I love college (hey) and I love drinking (hey)
I love women (hey) I love college

Now if everybody would please
Put their drink as high as they can
As high as they can
And repeat after me

Chug chug chug chug chug chug chug chug

Freshman freshman freshman freshman

Do something crazy do something crazy do something crazy do something crazy

Keg-stand keg-stand keg-stand keg-stand

Yea, that party last night
Man I love college, I love it
That party last night
Goodnight everybody I gotta head back to class for a little bit

That party last night was awfully crazy, I wish we taped it
I danced my ass off and had this one girl completely naked
Drink my beer and smoke my weed
But my good friends is all I need
Pass out at three wake up at ten
Go out to eat then do it again man I love college
Do I really have to graduate or can I just stay here for the rest of my life
