Je score:
Good morning, class Good morning, Mrs. Aryan Today we're going to play a game Yeah This game is called lifeboat, all together Lifeboat Good, lifeboat is a lesson in values clarification Can you say values clarification? No Values clarification is where your little minds decide Which lives are worth living and which lives are worth, not living Now here's how we play A big ship just sank There are five people on the lifeboat But the lifeboat is only made for two I'll list the five people on the chalkboard And you, class, will decide Which three will be thrown overboard, are we ready? Yes, Mrs. Aryan Good, first, there's an old, old crippled grandfather Second, there's a mentally handicapped person in a wheelchair What's mentally handicapped? It means they can never be a productive members of society Third, there's an overweight woman on welfare With a sniffling, whimpering baby Is the baby on welfare, too? Let's not push Mrs. Aryan Who else is in the boat? A young, white doctor with blue eyes and perfect teeth and Joan Collins Now, class, take five minutes to make your decision Times up, well, class Throw over grandpa 'cause he's getting pretty old Throw out the baby or we'll all be catching it's cold Throw over fatty and we'll see if she can float Throw out the retard and they won't be rockin' the boat Very good, that was fun, wasn't it? Yes, Mrs. Aryan For our next lesson, we're going to do an experiment Yeah We're going to test the law of gravity, just like Galileo By dropping two objects out the window One heavy and one light To test which one hits the sidewalk first Now what shall we use for the lighter object? I'm thinking of something small and square An eraser? Good, and what shall we use for the heavy object? I'm thinking of something round and bouncy Tommy, I haven't given you permission to leave your seat Class, class the bell has not rung What are you, class, put me down, class, put me down this instant What, what are you Throw over teacher and we'll see if she can bounce We've learned our lesson, teacher says perfection's what counts She's getting old and gray and wears an ugly coat Throw over teacher and we'll play another game of lifeboat Throw over grandpa 'cause he's getting pretty old Throw out the baby or we'll all be catching it's cold Throw over fatty and we'll see if she can float Throw out the retard and they won't be rockin' the boat, yeah
