Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school
We have tortured every teacher, we have broken every rule

Sung to the tune of “Joy to the World”

On top of old smokey
all covered in blood
I shot I shot my poor teacher
with a 44 stud.
I went to her funeral
I went to her grave,
some people thew flowers
I threw hand granades.
She got up and chased
me so I cut off her head.
It rolled down the drive way
and into the street
and now all the cats

Mary had a little lamb
Which fleeece was white as snow
and everywhere that Mary went
the lamb was sure to go.
Then one day the price of meat raised
which really didn’t please [...]
Fudge, fudge call the judge
Mama’s gonna have a baby
Wrap it toilet paper
Send it down the escalator
What’s it gonna be?

Joy to the World,
Our teacher’s dead.
We bar-be-cued her head!
What happened to the body?
We flushed it down the potty!
And round and round it goes,

We have barbecued the principal and destroyed the PTA
Our school keeps burning on.
Glory, glory hallelujah
