Make Your Kids Work

(To be Sung To the Tune ”Stayin Alive” by the Bee Gees)

Make Your Kids Work

You can tell by the circles under eye
I’m a teacher stressed, no time to cry.
You may think I’m keeping up
But you don’t know, today was rough
Kids are crazed, do no work,
Computer games, assignments shirk
I can’t look the other way
I need this job; I need the pay.

Whether you’re a mother
Or Whether you’re a father,
Make your kids work
Don't let them shirk.
If they lie and they say 
There’s no homework today
Make your kids work, 
Don't let them shirk.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, 
Make your kids work;
Don’t let them shirk.
Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Make your kids work;
Don’t let them shirk.

Voice in the wilderness: politicians work to keep Americans stupid so they can be re-elected! Your only recourse is to ensure your children receive an education so they can understand what is going on! Enjoyed! Aloha!
