Songs for School

I'm back in school again (again *sigh*). Today was my first day of this semester. Does anyone have a song or poem to ease my aching brain? (Or at least help me forget about it?)

My God Carol!

Have they really kept you back for this long?

I'd have got a personal tutor by now.

The song, Lox. What about the song?

Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay
There is no school today
The teacher passed away
because of Tooth Decay
We threw her in the bay
The sharks had lunch today
Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay
There is no school today!


or:
Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
throw your teachers overboard
and listen to them scream.

There is a parody of "My Way" called "Their Way" that might help put you in the proper frame of mind but I don't know where to find it. HELP!!! Someone! Anyone!

When I was a gossoon
of eight years or so
with me books and me bags
off to school I did go
To a battered old school house
without any door
where lay the school master
blind drunk on the floor

Singing Baine na Mo 's 'n gowna
and the juice of the barley for me

Someone else who actually knows this song the whole way through should probably add to this as there are a few more verses and I've misspelt a few words in the first line of the chorus. (not being an Irish speaker)

I like that song (the one without the cymbals and drums). Does anyone have anything soothing? It doesn't have to be about school.

Carol, are you a teacher or a student? A couple of years ago, BSeed posted some good songs for teachers. I'm tied up on something else right now, but maybe somebody else has the time to find them for you.

No, Joe. I hate to have to admit it, (at my age) but I am once again a student. I don't think the songs for teachers would quite address my particular kind of stress. My situation is more in line with Mbo's. (And the college bookstore has run out of most of the books I need, too. Grrrrr...)

Thanks for the suggestion, though.
