Homework by The Grammar Hammer Lyrics
Student: I just don't get this homework thing
I mean we come to school
We go all day then we come home
And we're supposed to play
And you make us work some more
I mean what's the point teacher what's the point
Teacher: Well sometimes I can say that honestly at the end of the day
My students couldn't see a basic concept that was easy to me
Somethin hard to grasp
Somethin soon to flee from there minds
Like a dream I had when I'm waking up in the middle of the night (Delete it!)
Like a nightmare
Born with means to take up flight is your memory is fleeting
And the days lesson should be reinforced
With a lot of grammar a lot of vocab a lot of poetry
A stallion galloping on into your home
And you can get a lot smarter On the spot when you sit there at night to scribe a poem
And the ink flows out certainly no drought
And learnin Away at the lesson of the day
And all the Homework
You're now a potential poet and you didn't even know it So foul play
And that's the point like on the end of a pencil
Homework get on it unessasary sentence
Show me what you learned after school the knowledge earned And don't be a fool
Student: Oh but teacher I can not understand such crazy words
Are you tellin me that this homework thing can help me be something in this world
But seriously I don't understand how making me write on demand the 5 parts of speech and vocab section during history can be of my command
I mean out there in the real world homework can not be found at all
And no projects and no presentations and no essays
And ill continue to not complete it
And if you bother me I'll throw a fit and say to you "my doggie ate it"
It's not true and you won't debate it
Teacher: Now wait a minute
Let me interject I thought about it
Get ready to return your homework
Now between you and I return your homework to prevent some Ill will
You've got a sit still like milk spilled
You gotta cry until the cows come home like Brian o Phil on an ordinary day got the homework Bill
Student: I just don't get this homework thing I mean we come to school and we go all day and we come home and were supposed to play And we work some more what's the point teacher
Teacher: The point is knowledge gained is knowledge earned And homework is a beneficial bridge between concepts taught and lessons learned
I mean we come to school
We go all day then we come home
And we're supposed to play
And you make us work some more
I mean what's the point teacher what's the point
Teacher: Well sometimes I can say that honestly at the end of the day
My students couldn't see a basic concept that was easy to me
Somethin hard to grasp
Somethin soon to flee from there minds
Like a dream I had when I'm waking up in the middle of the night (Delete it!)
