about

While I’m sure there are many who will disagree, I think Evergreen is the best thing that ever happened to Olympia. This place needed a bucketful of weird.
Both my kids are Greeners and I have hired several Greeners in my professional life. They were great employees; they could think and act both intelligently and independently. Greeners have brought many bucketfuls of creativity, consciousness, and color to Olympia! Go Geoducks!

lyrics

In 1971, the students first enrolled
Nothing typical here,
that’s what they were told
We shan’t have no grades
Design your own degree
The faculty are communists that love ecology

Bucketful of weird
Nothing there to fear
Bucketful of weird
Every day
Bucketful of weird
It’s getting very clear
The Evergreen State College brought Olympia a bucketful of weird

Was this just another classic tale of town and gown
Olympia was stodgy, a boring little town
From environmental weirdos from Evergreen
Procession of the Species grew
The Greener culture changed the town into something new

Bucketful of weird
Nothing here to fear
Bucketful of weird
Every day
Bucketful of weird
Hold it close and dear
The Evergreen State College brought Olympia a bucketful of weird

Matt Groening from the Simpsons
Bruce Pavitt from Sub Pop
Lynda Barry, Macklemore
Their alumni list, it rocks

The Evergreen State College in Olympia had race and Fox News
problems in 2017
And declining enrollments for the last ten years
But remains on the top-forty list for colleges that will change your life

Bucketful of weird
Nothing there to fear
Bucketful of weird
Every day
Bucketful of weird
Made our town a better town
The Evergreen State College brought Olympia a bucketful of weird
