Just woke up, checked my phone at seven,

Call from Oslo saying I’m going to heaven—

Well, not quite, but the Committee on the line,

Said my paper on world peace is looking real fine.

No stress in the morning, coffee brewing hot,

Got a call from the academy, believe it or not.

No bad reviews on my latest research,

Left the lab early, no reason to search

For errors in the code or a miscalculated stat,

Even the peer reviewers said, "We’re good with that."

Put on my finest tuxedo and tie,

It’s time to fly to Sweden, sky-high.

(Chorus)

And everybody gotta stop and say:

Today, I won the Prize, it was a good day.

(Verse 2)

Landed in Stockholm, red carpet on the floor,

Distinguished scholars waiting right by the door.

No drama on the panel, no debates at the mic,

Just pure global consensus, exactly what I like.

Gave my lecture on conflict resolution,

Standing ovation for a peaceful revolution.

Dined with the Royalty, passed around the gold,

Best academic story that was ever told.

Saw the medal glowing right in my hand,

Brought diplomatic unity across the land.

Didn't even have to use my argument skills today—

I gotta say, it was a good day.

Francis Halzen won the prize. He had advocated for this project for a long time and played a leading role in making it possible.
