Thank you

As you know your regular teacher

Sister Rosetta Stone is on a small vacation

However she does send her love, at least finger paintings

And desk club she's making

I am your substitute teacher, Sister Mary Elephant

Class, attention, attention, class, class, shut up!

Young man, now give me that knife, thank you

That your assignment for the last two months

Has been to write an essay entitled

'How I Spent My Summer Vacation'

Who would like to read theirs before the class?

Class, class, cla, shut up!

Okay, the first day on my vacation

What I did on my summer vacation

The first day on my vacation, I woke up

Then I went downtown to a quiet job

Then I hung out in front of the drugstore

The second day on my summer vacation, I woke up

Then I went downtown to look for a job

Then I hung out in front of the drugstore

The third day on my summer vacation, I woke up

(Now that's fine, young man)

Then I went downtown to look for a job

(That's fine, young man)

Then I got a job

Keeping people from here and out in front of the drugstore

The fourth day on my

Shut up!

Thank you

Out of this lovely book of poetry

The sun kisses the morning skies

The birds kiss the butterflies

The dew kisses the morning grass

Class, class, ca

Wake up!

I gotta go to the can, man
