Wasting Away in Basal-Readerville
Living on worksheets
Kids stuck
in their seats
No ones’ asked questions in over a year
Johnny is sleeping
Janie is weepin
Joseis
groaning’ but
nobody cares
Wasting
away
again
In Basal Readerville
Lookin’ for our lost
passion to
read
Some teachers claim the NRP is to blame
But I say, we’re just waitin to breathe.
Fillin in bubbles
Are life’s only
troubles
Jake got a 90 on the weekly test
Kenny is snorin
says reading
is borin
Sue readsthe
fastest
And thinks she’s best
Wastin away again in Basal Readerville
Lookin for our lost passion to dream
Some people claim Open Court is to blame
All I know, is I’m not part of that scheme,
One day
I got fed up
Told them to get up
Brought in
some books
And shouted “Lets read”
Some read about Russians
We had long discussions
We learned to think
We planted some seeds.
Driving the road away from Basal-readerville
Driving to our new passion to know
All I
can say is
we lost our way
From now on, we’re in charge of this show
All I can say is I lost my way,
From now on, I’m in charge of this show.
