And...a favorite on the bus ride group song list 40 years ago was “Glory, glory hallelujah, teacher hit me with a ruler; I blew her through the door with a loaded .44 and she won’t be there no more”
Oh, man! I FORGOT that catchy little ditty! Our version was a little gentler, but I like yours better. In ours, the second line was: "Hit her in the bean with a rotten tangerine ... His truth is marching on."
Our song on the last day of school for the summer vacation was
No more schoolwork no more books
no more teachers’ dirty looks
We would walk around the school building singing it at the top of our voices
We also drew unflatering pics of the teacher or principal on the black boards
The teachers just ignored us
Today we would be in jail for threateniong a teacher...
We also haD A GREAT VERSION OF mARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB...
Mary had a little lamb
It followed her to school
It made the children laugh and play
to see a lamb at school
the bigger kids added this
Mary had a little lamb
It ... upon the floor
the teacher had to lick it up
and spit it out the door
I dont remember that one sung as loudly but it was sung...
and the teachers heard it...
and not teacher ever complained of being insulted or threatened or scared of our potential to do mayhem...
I dimly recall some ditty along those lines, with actual
names inserted.
