A Song to Start the School Year!

I always enjoy looking at ways to take popular songs and make them applicable to my classroom...this summer I have been hearing the Bruno Mars "Lazy Song" and thought it could be made into a great back to school song.  I would like to record a music video and have it on my blog to start the year, but one thing I have not mastered is the art of singing :)  I am going to post the lyrics here.  Hopefully in a future post I will have the video :).  Enjoy!  Ms. Crain

Don’t Be Lazy Song

I know you don’t feel like doing anything.

You just wanna lay in your bed

Don’t know where the summer’s gone

But a new school year has just begun

And I know you don’t feel like doing anything.

You’re going to pick yourself up

Eat some ham and eggs

Brush your teeth, comb your hair

Hurry up, you need to get there

Learn about weight and mass

Write it all down so you can pass

Cause graduating is the plan

Oh,Oh

Yes I said it

We said it

We said it’s the plan

I know you don’t feel like doing anything.

You just wanna lay in your bed

Don’t know where the summer’s gone

But a new school year has just begun

And I know you don’t feel like doing anything.

School’s not that hard

Tomorrow it will get better, do a little math

Learn a little history, maybe some science

And you are going to learn to debate…

(Oh I love to debate)

Yeah

You learned new stuff, my mom’s so proud of me

You are going to be prepared for the CRCT

You’re starting to think Dickerson is pretty great!

Oh, Oh

Yes I said it

We Said it

We said it’s the plan

I know you don’t feel like doing anything.

You just wanna lay in your bed

Don’t know where the summer’s gone

But a new school year has just begun

And I know you don’t feel like doing anything.

Yeah you are learning about the countries of the world

And you haven’t gotten bored

No no no no no no no no no oh

You’re just learning all this new stuff

Middle School doesn’t seem so rough

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah-eah

Oh

I know you don’t feel like doing anything.

You just wanna lay in your bed

Don’t know where the summer’s gone

But a new school year has just begun

And I know you don’t feel like doing anything.

School’s not that hard

School’s not that hard

School’s not that hard
