Lyrics[edit]
A Vote for a Winner[edit]
- Lisa:
- ... and we deserve a French teacher who actually speaks French. J'accuse, Monsieur Kupferberg!
- Monsieur Kupferberg:
- What's she yakkin' about?
- Principal Skinner:
- Nelson, rebuttal?
- Nelson:
- Yo everyone, it's me, Nelson.
- Kids:
- Nel-son! Nel-son! Nel-son!
- 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!
I Am Their Queen[edit]
- Lisa:
- You wanted to see me?
- Edna Krabappel:
- Actually, Lisa... I wanted you to see you. You're our President now, but you look like the first lady of "yawn"!
- Lisa:
- What would you change?
- Teachers:
- Eyes, pearls, smile, hairpoints,
- Dress, voice, shoes, Swatch watch.
- Lisa:
- I may be the new girl,
- But you can't brainwash me.
- Just Osh Kosh B'gosh me,
- And then leave me be.
- To fight for kid power,
- I must be heard not seen.
- I have to lead wisely,
- Not just primp and preen.
- Teachers:
- Nails, dimples, ears, scrunchie,
- Purse, lunchbox, teeth, Milhouse.
- Lisa:
- This beauting-up suits me,
- There's beauty within me.
- So let's Olsen Twin me,
- Give them someone to love.
- This grown-up makeover,
- Has made me a super tween.
- For they are my people,
- And I am their queen!
- Marge:
- Oh, Lisa, you look so successful. Like you're the wife of a businessman.
- Homer:
- I wish I'd married a businessman. Then I'd have nice things.
Skinner's Evil Plan[edit]
- Principal Skinner:
- I'm so happy with my evil plan.
- Say goodbye to music, gym and art!
- Soon we will have the perfect school!
- Where fun and excitement never start!
- Groundskeeper Willie:
- I'm so drunk I could barely see!
- But it helps me get through another day!
- My stomach is filled with haggis and hurt!
- I've got to go puke in some hay!
- Bart:
- Lisa is a fool!
- Seymour Skinner:
- I think the rules are cool!
- Groundskeeper Willie:
- I'm fallin' in the pool!
- Principal Skinner:
- Hmm, not a cloud in the sky -- a perfect day to unveil Operation SLAAAM: So Long Athletics Art And Music. Care for a T-shirt?
- Superintendent Chalmers:
- T-shirt? Why don't you just give me a sandwich board that says "Male Prostitute"?
- Principal Skinner:
- Oh well... I... Forgive me, sir.
A Tango Takes Two[edit]
- Lisa:
- What have I done?
- Bart:
- What they wanted you to.
- Lisa:
- Skinner betrayed me!
- Bart:
- But a tango takes two.
Smart Girl Six Three[edit]
- Superintendent Chalmers:'
- Skinner! I don't mean to interrupt your advice from the janitor. But I say, cut off the head and the body will die.
- Principal Skinner:
- You want to get rid of Lisa?! But she's such a good student!
- Superintenent Chalmers:
- Yes. In fact, I think she's a little too good for this school.
- Lisa:
- If we stand together, we are strong!
- [kids cheer]
- Principal Skinner:
- Lisa Simpson, you have just been transferred to the Springfield Magnet School for the gifted and troublesome. Please climb into the idling bus.
- Lisa:
- But... but I...
- Kids:
- Poor Li-sa.
- Poor Li-sa...
- Lisa:
- Don't cry for me, kids of Springfield.
- You can still reach me through e-mail.
- At smart girl six three,
- Underscore back slash,
- At Yahoo dot com.
- At Yahoo dot com...
