School is a learnin' thing, Though I love when the class bells Ring But something fills me with ire: We all must wear the same attire. CHORUS: We all have to wear uniform attire Our grades go down down down If we don't do what they require The sun burns, burns, burns, And we perspire, We just perspire. Why do we have to wear this attire? We are not the band, Or the goldurn concert choir! I'd walk by the dean, Oh, just to try 'er, but I can't get by 'er. (SPOKEN, KID: Ew, what's that smell? / A burnin' tire?) The smell in the gym ain't sweet; It stanks like rotten meat. We done hated these clothes a long long while, Can't stand the colors, nor the style. CHORUS Wish I knew why this clothing is required. I could say I knew, but then I would be a liar. Please sign this petition And take this flyer; Let's scour the Shire. The point of school is to lift our minds higher! A teacher needs to int'rest, Inform, and inspire. This regulation We can't admire! So we desire Just to burn, burn, burn That school supplier With a ring of fire So throw it now, Whole and entire, Into the Widening Gyre. (SPOKEN ADULT: Billy Yeats, slouch back to your classroom and cut that hair!) |
