SHELLEY: <br>
Mom, Edgar just finished his essay for his high school equivalency exam!<br>
<br>
BAT BOY: I will discuss Copernicus who ruined all our fun,<br>
And showed we're just a ball of dust that limps around the sun.<br>
Which brings me then to Darwin, when he bent us out of shape<br>
As he began to prove that man is nephew to an ape.<br>
We were annoyed when Doctor Freud declared it's not a soul,<br>
It is your blind subconsious mind that's always in control.<br>
But I submit that any twit if he had eyes to see,<br>
Can seize his fate; self-educate; and turn out just like me!<br>
<br>
(All Cheer)<br>
<br>
ALL: Shirts, shoes, pants, vest.<br>
Can't go out there underdressed.<br>
Collar pressed, look your best.<br>
And won't they be impressed! 'Cause:<br>
<br>
I'll/He'll show 'em a thing or two!<br>
I was dirty and rowdy (rowdy)<br>
Even dressed a bit dowdy (dowdy)<br>
But now say:<br>
<br>
OTHERS: Howdy!<br>
<br>
ALL: To a summa cum laude!<br>
I'll/He'll show 'em the way it's done!<br>
But no applause I'm/He's not through!<br>
