Lyrics
- Lisa:
- And we deserve a French teacher who actually speaks French! J'accuse, Monsieur Cusperberg!
- Mr. Cusperberg:
- What is she yakkin' about?
- Lisa:
- I rest my case.
- Seymour Skinner:
- Nelson, rebuttal?
- Nelson:
- Yo, everyone, it's me, Nelson!
- Students:
- YAAAY! NELSON! NELSON! NELSON! NELSON!
- 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!
