Katrinas Welcome Song by Krysta Rodriguez Lyrics
[Katrina]
Ichabod Crane
Ichabod Crane
My name's Katrina
Hello
[Ichabod, spoken]
Hi, nice to meet you
[Katrina]
Hey, how's it going?
[Ichabod, spoken]
Well
[Katrina]
We're thrilled that you're here
Thank God for you
Our last music teacher just
Was let go
Don't know why
Never liked her much
It's fine now you're here
[Ichabod, spoken]
Wow, what
[Katrina]
Talk off your ear, I know
Sorry, I know, I'll never change, so my mother says so
Come on with me I'm not the principal
That's Miss Hudson-Flint, there's a hyphen in it
I'm her assistant
She couldn't be here
[Ichabod, spoken]
Oh
[Katrina]
Sends her regards
So you're from Manhattan?
[Ichabod, spoken]
Yeah
[Katrina]
Wow, I'm obsessed
Wish we'd do more than once a year
Though, see all those shows
Eat in those restaurants
But money's so tight
You know I'm sure
Having moved down here from
Wait hold still
Do you see that?
[Ichabod, spoken]
What?
[Katrina]
That maple leaf falling from the sky
It's the first
Of the season
And summer waves goodbye
What was I saying
I can't remember
Oh right, Miss Hudson-Flint
[Ichabod, spoken]
Right
[Katrina]
Said to show you your classroom
So come on with me
It's just in here
Music appreciation first
Is that right?
Then the choir
God, I love to hear the kids when they're singin'
Stirs up something in me
Beautiful kids, voices so pure
Before they learn how things can suck
Hey, this is it, your very own prison
I'm not usually this dark
But this morning, never mind
So your classroom
It's shabby I know
There were some cuts
In the budget for the arts
No one cares, not out here, maybe in the city
People out here
Trust me I know them
I'm Tarrytown born, Tarrytown bred
Never lived anywhere else
Why'd you leave
New York City?
To come to this town so insular
You perceive
It's so pretty
If that's what you prefer
[Ichabod]
It's not about wanting to move here
It's all about needing to leave
Sorry
Let's talk about it later
I have lesson plans to go through
[Katrina, spoken]
Of course, sorry. The kids will be here in an hour. Good luck with your first day
[Ichabod, spoken]
Katrina, wait. Thank you, you're really nice
[Katrina, spoken]
Sure, hey, why don't you come over for dinner tonight?
[Ichabod, spoken]
You want to have dinner with me?
Ichabod Crane
