SATB Piano A humorous song, very easy to learn. Makes a great encore!!! Can be learned in one rehersal! Only two minutes long! Each part takes a verse then 4 part harmony (mixed barbershop) on the last verse! Based on the joke, 'It was the final
My "band" is a Macintosh Computer with a sequencer and instrument module (software) and a recording simulator called deck. But it is amazing what can be done with these things!
Story behind the song
As stated in "Song Description" it is a song based on a joke I heard many years ago. (Hey! Not that many!) ;-)
Lyrics
The Final Day of School
It was the final day of school and, as might be expected,
The academic subjects all were purposely neglected.
The academic subjects all were purposely neglected.
The Colonists and Romans too, from His'try had depart-ed.
The voy'ges of Columbus were no longer being charted!
The voy'ges of Columbus were no longer being charted!
The theorems of Pythagoras, his bright hypotenusing,
Were lying in the corner for some major year-end snoozing,
Were lying in the corner for some major year-end snoozing.
No verbs were parsed, no objects sought, no sentences decoded,
While Twain and Poe and Faulkner were, to afterthoughts, demoted.
While Twain and Poe and Faulkner were, to afterthoughts, demoted.
Instead, in every classroom you could hear a boist'rous song
While from the cafeteria came laughter loud and long.
Out in the hallway there were some who danced the whole day through,
And as for all the students, they were very happy too!
