I’m going to pick up my pencil 
And learn to show my work 
Find lots of limits and 
Prove continuity 
I’m going to pick up my pencil 
Where are those asymptotes? 
Find those asymptotes! 
 
Refrain: 
I’m going to study calculus 
Study calculus 
Study calculus 
I’m going to study calculus 
Study calculus 
Study calculus 
 
I’m going to pick up my pencil 
And find dy/dx 
Let’s differentiate 
And learn to integrate 
I’m going to pick up my pencil 
And learn to sub a “u” 
Learn to sub a “u” 
(Go to Refrain) 
 
I’m going to pick up my pencil 
And learn to justify 
Can’t use a number line 
We’ll need some words sublime 
I’m going to pick up my pencil 
And got to find “f prime” 
Got to find “f prime” 
(Go to Refrain) 
 
I’m going to pick up my pencil 
And learn to analyze 
Where f is concave up 
That means it’s like a cup 
I’m going to pick up my pencil 
Where f is concave down 
That means it’s like a frown 
(Go to Refrain) 
 
I’m going to pick up my pencil 
And solve that diff e-q 
At first we separate 
Then we must integrate 
I’m going to pick up my pencil 
Then find our c and y 
Find our c and y 
(Go to Refrain)
