America, C 1957, Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim, West Side Story CHENG South Korea, my heart's obsession, Call me at your own discretion. SARAH Always the pot growers dealing; Always the starving people stealing And the gun-concealing; And the coca-raising; And the fires blazing; CHENG I know the grass there is greener SARAH Smoke on your pipes . . . CHENG Emphysema SARAH I like to go in A...
MELANIE Did it ever occur to you That when the two of us are around, Everything else looks like specks of dirt to you, Just passing by The nighttime sky And psychedelic sparks fall to the ground? Everything induces dizziness, Your head, like, totally turns to ai, I'm feeling so happily vacant -- isn't this The world's best way To spend a stay While so urbane and light and debonair? HAKEEM You ...
Parody of "Carefully Taught" from South Pacific PITTMAN You'll just have to learn, when up you are brought, There are people like you, and then those who are not, And if they're not like you, to treat them like snot, BLUMBERG You'll have to be duly untaught PITTMAN If their skin looks much darker than yours ever will, Your com - pat - i - bil - i - ty index is nil, It seems fun to try and get ...
Music by John Jenkins-Stark They say that all of us are free, And that our nation is the best; If that were so, how could be be a people so terribly oppressed? Every last person, so they claim, is equal and all that, although They really don't treat us the same, And what they say just isn't so. Here you're a prisoner in school as autocratic faculty Will advantage of their rule And squash and m...
ALAN I once learned of the roles Of the magnetic poles, How you must have a north and a south to attract. But, as I explain, The complex human brain Has a sense of emotion those magnets all lacked. I'm not going to sit on my derriegrave;re all day, Never telling anyone of my choice, So while the principal has his politically incorrect things to say, I'll stand by the lectern and throw them a p...
Sung to the tune of "Frosty the Snowman" TRINA Kvetchy the teacher Was a total pedagogue; Did a student make But a sole mistake, She would mark it in her log. She disciplined Like the monsoon wind And gave many a detention; If someone still Broke her rules: "I will Assign you a suspension" Kvetchy the teacher Was as mean as mean could be; Not a student smiled Who had been beguiled By her visag...
Sung to the tune of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" ENTIRE STUDENT BODY Oh, the hiring of Liddas by Degloba was a sin; It was through the Devil that the school board let her in; She imposed an evil system of inhuman discipline; And must be overthrown Oh, let's go out against our teacher, That awful, old subhuman creature, She must be stopped right now, And it doesn't matter how, We want our "I h...
Parody of "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love" MELANIE When the little green snake With its skin inclined to flake HAKEEM When the little green frog In the shallows of the bog Turns all red; It looks dead MELANIE When the little green toad In the middle of the road Gets squashed flat Over at The debate; HAKEEM Then that means it's our turn To go ahead and learn To date HAKEEM MELANIE And that's w...
BLUMBERG I am using the word "oy", True, he did at times annoy, Pittman was a bad, bad boy, But why must someone employ Forces that they could deploy, And have them seek-and-destroy Just when we were all full of joy And gay? Oy vey Although I eat bagels and lox, It still seems a paradox That when the Grim Reaper stalks Up behind and finally knocks At the door of who gives talks That exalt the ...
SARAH Andreo has a first name, A-N-D-R-E-O . . . Andreo has a second name, N-I-K-O-L-A-O . . . When people ask me for the longest name I ever knew, I'll tell them what I know is true, It's S-M-I-T-H-M-O-O-R-E-B-R-O . . . MELANIE "Pulverize the Color Barrier"? Alan says that he loves Everyone he may find; But his love's just aesthetic; It's all in his mind PAUL I see Melanie, so romantic and li...
Sung to the tune of "Deck the Halls" Terrorize your little brother, Fa la la la la, la la la la. He's the one to gag and smother, Ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha. Kill him by asphyxiation, Egh-egh-egh, egh-egh-egh, ech-ech-echh, Then go give him constipation, Uhng-uhng-uhng-uhng-uhngg, euh-euh-euh-eeeeeough. With gags and coughs and violent sneezes, Ugh-ugh-ugh-ah-choo, ah-kheeeeew, ah-choo He'll ...

SARAH Everyone's part of a family in a tribe or a race or ethnic group by right of birth, And we're all in the subspecies we call Homo sapiens sapiens, the only known surviving one on Earth; We're in the species Homo sapiens, which is in the genus Homo, in the family that we call Hominidae, And in the anthropoid suborder with the apes and the monkeys, and also all the human family. It is so bi...
Now, if I may digress momentarily from the mainstream of this evening's symposium, I'd like to sing a song which is completely pointless, but is something which I picked up during my career as a scientist. This may prove useful to some of you some day, perhaps, in a somewhat bizarre set of circumstances. It's simply the names of the chemical elements set to a possibly recognizable tune. The tu...
ANDREO Smith-hyphen-Moore-hyphen-Brown-hyphen-Gore, Some more hyphens with Johnson and Green; Palmer and Hook, and then Matterson, Cooke, And Pierce, and then Winters and Dean; Some more of my family is Drinkwater, Wheatland, then Waters, Fields, Hopkins and Banks; There's Studham and Stidham, then add a whole cache Of more hyphens for Benson and Hawkins and Nash, Wells-Wheeler and Richmond, t...
