Ms Alice the Ogre |
|
Could drive a drunk sober |
|
Then turn him to drinking again |
|
But there was a time though |
|
When she did not act so |
|
Old Alice was normal back then |
|
|
chorus |
Alice Alice |
|
Alice was normal back then |
|
Alice Alice |
|
Old Alice was normal back then |
|
|
2. |
She was a school teacher |
|
And during the school year |
|
Her conduct was proper enough |
|
Until Dippy Daisy |
|
Drove poor Alice crazy |
|
Which led her to doing strange stuff |
|
|
3. |
Daisy was dippy |
|
And Daisy was lippy |
|
And Daisy played tricks all day long |
|
As soon as the lesson |
|
Was fully in session |
|
Dear Daisy would break out in song |
|
|
4. |
She was a contralto |
|
Or was that an alto |
|
No matter. Her voice could break glass |
|
Like scratches on blackboards |
|
It sent Alice skyward |
|
To land bottom up in the trash |
|
|
5. |
"That's it" said old Alice |
|
Her voice full of malice |
|
"I'm through being nice to you all |
|
From now on its my turn |
|
To make sure you all learn |
|
I'm read to loot, burn, and maul" |
|
|
6. |
And so for example |
|
I'll give you a sample |
|
Of Alice's classroom rapport: |
|
To all in her classroom |
|
She lets it be known soon |
|
She gets crazy mad at failure |
|
|
7. |
Therefore in her courses |
|
She points to her purses |
|
Where she keeps her "teaching techniques" |
|
Which soon as you look at |
|
Will leave you no doubt that |
|
Her technique is truly unique |
|
|
8. |
A 357 |
|
Could send you to heaven |
|
For failing her final exam |
|
A steel ball-peen hammer |
|
She calls her late-whammer |
|
Though no one's been tardy again |
|
|
9. |
And then there's her ripsaw |
|
Which someone should outlaw |
|
Intended to rip more than wood |
|
And for some strange reason |
|
All during school season |
|
Her class acts unusually good |
|
|
10. |
For no one has tested |
|
Nor school teacher bested |
|
Old Alice's strange lesson plans |
|
And none in her classroom |
|
Has dared to face doom soon |
|
By failing her lofty demands |
|
|
11. |
Except Dippy Daisy |
|
Who made Alice crazy |
|
And caused her concern for her health |
|
As rumor would have it |
|
Dear Daisy is well set |
|
And pushing up daisies herself |
