Lyrics

Lisa:
I'm not that cool,
I don't wear jeans.
I've polished an apple or two.
But every grade that I grubbed,
I grubbed it for you.
So call me bookworm,
But I'll never squirm,
When there's work to be done.
Yes, I'll take my lunch at my desk,
While you're all outside having fun.
Don't vote for me, kids of Springfield,
Unless you want an effective leader.
I'll talk to teachers,
I'll handle Skinner,
A vote for Lisa,
Makes you the winner!
Students:
Vote Lisa! Vote Lisa! Vote Lisa!
