original words my words Don’t sing
"learning in Gri11"
Well a man comake me on the 6 o’clock news
well miss gordon came in at 9am sharp and said
Said somebody’s been shot, somebody’s been abused
somebodies doing math somebodies doing spelling
Somebody blew up a building
somebodies doing integration
Somebody stole a car
somebody's doin reading
Somebody got away
Somebody didn’t get too far yeah
They didn’t get too far
Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
Mr R told Jobe-wan-kenobi back in my day son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
a student has to answer questions and then he is done
Take all the rope in Texas
take an ipad and computer
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
and find a cozy corner, and work your butt off
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see
hang up your homework for all the people to see...
[Chorus:]
that Justice is the one thing you should always find
Friendship is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
You got to make your parents proud
When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune
When you come back to school the very next day
We’ll all meet back at the local saloon
We’re going to have a party all night and day
We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces
We’ll raise up our glasses for all the teachers
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
sing 2x at the end Singing thanks for a great day, of learning ...
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
We got too many bad boys doing dirty deeds
We’ve got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
to much homework in too less time
It’s time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
it’s time for the teachers to let some rules go
Send ’em all to their maker and he’ll settle ’em down
Send em to the principal and make ‘em gone for good
You can bet he’ll set ’em down ’cause
mr kennedy will set ‘em down...
[Chorus (x2)]
