He is Sam,
Sam-the-Man.
That Sam-the-Man!
That Sam-the-Man!
I do not like
That Sam-the-Man!
Do you like school change and Sam?
I do not like them -- change or Sam,
I do not like school change OR Sam.
Would you like Sam without change?
I would not like Sam without change,
You see, I find him rather strange!
I do not like school change or Sam,
I do not like change, Sam-the-Man.
Would you like Sam with only six?
Would you like Sam with money fix?
I do not like Sam with just six,
I do not Sam with a fix.
I do NOT like Sam here or there,
I do not like him anywhere
I do not like school change or Sam.
I do not like him: Sam-the-Man.
Not with just six
Not with a fix
Not with less PE,
Not with August free.
I did NOT like him when HR,
I do not like him as the Czar,
I do not like school change and Sam,
I do not like him: Sam-the-Man.
Would you? Could you?
For kids to read?
Re-start? Change heart?
For kids in need?
I would not, could not, for the reader.
But ..
You may like change,
Hear Sam's plea,
Maybe we should wait and see.
I would not, could not, for the reader,
I will not, cannot, be a force-feeder!
I do not like Sam with just six,
I do not like Sam with a fix,
I don't like Sam with less PE,
I don't like Sam with August free
I do not like Sam here or there,
I do not like Sam anywhere.
I do not like school change or Sam.
I do not like him: Sam-the-Man.
For the arts? For the arts?
For the arts? For the arts?
Could you, would you, for the arts?
Not for the arts! Not for the reader!
Not for just six! Sam! You're no leader!
I do not like Sam with just six,
I do not like Sam with a fix,
I do not like Sam with less PE,
I do not like Sam with August free
I do not like Sam here or there,
I do not like Sam anywhere.
I do not like school change or Sam.
I do not like him: Sam-the-Man.
Say!
With all sports -- No academic core?
Would you, could you, stop the uproar?
I would not, could not, for all sports.
Would you, could you, for more AP's?
I would not, could not, for more AP's.
Not for all sports. Not for degrees.
Not for the reader, not for the arts,
I do not like change, Sam, you _art!
Not with just six
Not with a fix
Not with less PE,
Not with August free.
I do not like change here or there
I do not like change anywhere!
You do not like school change or Sam?
I do not like him, Sam-the-Man.
You do not like change,
So you say.
Try change! Try change!
And you may,
Try them and you may, I say

"It's a pretty good zoo,"
Said young Gerald McGrew,
"And the fellow who runs it
Seems proud of it, too."
"But if I ran the zoo,"
Said young Gerald McGrew,
"I'd make a few changes.
"That's just what I'd do.."
I'd listen to parents, students and teachers,
Janitors, bus-drivers, librarians and preachers
And IF they all wanted more periods and electives
I'd check the books, do the math and ask lots of questions
Look left, look right, who's got the numbers?
Never mind, not important, then why not concur?
With the Man on the right who knows all the answers
And we're willing to bet that he's got em for sure
"But what ever happened to community input," I'd ask?
On budgets, on viewpoints, on buildings and tasks?
Improvement is one thing, but this is one-sided
I'd work real hard to join the divided.
It's a pretty good zoo
Said young Gerald McGrew
But I'd make lots of changes
"That's just what I'd do."

Community Input?
What's that you say?
Hang on there! Slow down!
Rome wasn't built in a day.

Fi, be not proud, though some have called thee,
Mighty and dreadful, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think's, thou dost overthrow,
Quit no(t), dear Fi, nor yet canst thou stop me.
