I hate you, you hate me Let’s gang up and kill Barney With a scream and a splat and a lot of blood and gore No more purple dinosaur ---

Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream throw your teacher overboard and listen to her scream Five days later Floatin’ down the Delaware Chewin’ on her underwear Cain’t afford another pair Eight days later Eaten by a grizzly bear and that how the grizzly bear died ---

The ones in MAD Magazine were always the best: School days, school days, They are hot, not cool, days. Burning and bombing from hour to hour, Fighting for Black and for Student Power. Here come the fuzz in battle dress Getting their lumps from SDS. You’d better drop out of school, I guess. It’s worse being dead than unread! O telephone, O telephone, At Christmas time we’re singing! 'Cause telephone, dear telephone, Our loved ones you are ringing! We call Aunt Sue in Portland, Maine, And get a drugstore in Fort Wayne! O telephone, O telephone, Frustration you are bringing! O telephone, O telephone, Our call’s been misdirected! Though telephone, dear telephone, You claim that you’re perfected! We know why you work sloppily: You’re owned by a monopoly! O telephone, O telephone, We’ve just been disconnected! New, new my heart is new, Straight from a man in Kalamazoo! New, new, my kidney’s new! They had a sale, I could have bought two! New, new, my liver’s new, If it gives out, a trade-in will do! New, new, my stomach’s new, It’s guaranteed till '72! Late last year, When I went insane, I just shopped For a slightly used brain! New, new, my lungs are new, So is my spleen, my pancreas too. New, new, I’ve so much new, I’m a new man, But I’m not sure who! ---

It’s a thing I’m dreading The way he’s shedding And coats everything with hair. I’m screaming at a white sheepdog. If he should visit you some night May his bark be worse than his blight And may all your furniture be white.
