Workin' In An Elementary School

(sung to the tune of Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland)
Children scream, they're not listnin'
When they go, we're not miss'n 'em,
In all of the pain, we try to stay sane,
Workin' in an elementary school.

Christmas comes, they're excited,
Though our nerves they've ignited,
They're off of the walls, they run in the halls,
Workin' in an elementary school.

In the lunchroom we can hear them yellin'
And we know that they are really wound,
someone hits, the other says, "I'm tellin'!"
And that is when our heads begin to pound.

Pretty soon we'll be restin'
'cause our nerves, they've been testin'
We're happy, it's clear, it comes once a year
Christmas in an elementary school!

My friend, Carolyn, wrote it years ago when she taught at Northridge. Isn't it great?
