about

This is an updated version of an old song. As good a time as any to post it...

lyrics

I woke up this morning, I saw the sun still there
I grabbed my third-grade textbook, and I jumped into the air
I had so many hopeful dreams on my way to school
But please, please don’t you do it Friday at 12 noon
No, not Friday at 12 noon

That’s when we test our sirens
It’s Paul Revere in flight
I know your powers are mighty, but if we’re warned we’ll do all right
Now, I got fine moves underneath my desk; I got my Bannd-Ayds too
But please, please don’t you do it Friday at 12 noon
No, not Friday at 12 noon

You should come and see us
You could stay a while
We’ll be friends, perhaps by then those
Crafty ways won’t be your style

Phred Phlinstone’s in the doghouse
The joker’s on the sly
Dezi yells at Loosi, and ol’ Jefro’s still a spy
And yes, they test the EBS on Kaptain Cangaroo
But please, please don’t you do it Friday at 12 noon

You should come and stay here
We could make a fuss
May take time, but then you’ll find that
All in all you’re just like us and

Please don’t get too desperate, if thing’s just aren’t the best
You’ve got the finest athletes, and you’re awfully good at chess
Please don’t pull no dirty tricks, my week is almost through
And please, please don’t you do it Friday at 12 noon
No, not Friday at 12 noon

Cuz every time I hear that false alarm
I wonder if it’s true
