Lyrics
- 'Lisa(speaking):
- Excuse me? Lisa Simpson with the school paper. Am I to understand you're purposely denying education to these children?
- (both Seymour Skinner and Superintendent Chalmers stumble to get words out)
- You haven't heard the last of this!
- Superintendent Chalmers:
- (thinking she left the room) Well, I think we've heard the last of this.
- Lisa:
- No, you haven't!
- Seymour Skinner:
- We're gonna have to give this some thought.
- Superintendent Chalmers:
- Let's sing while we think. It'll make it more fun for everyone.
- Seymour Skinner:
- How do we gag a blabbermouth like Lisa?
- Superintendent Chalmers:
- How do we crush her First Amendment rights?
- Seymour Skinner:
- How do we stop her writing up what she saw?
- Superintendent Chalmers:
- Would she shut her trap?
- Seymour Skinner:
- For a gift card from the Gap?
- Skinner and Chalmers:
- She might.
- Teachers:
- Oh how do we stop a royal pain like Lisa?
- How do we make this righteous less uptight?
- Seymour Skinner:
- You have a lovely voice, sir.
- Superintendent Chalmers:
- (sighs) Why do you have to make everything weird?
