(To the tune of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland")
Two-thousand-four starts as No Child
Left Behind debates get wild
The unions yell, "Pay!"
But Paige says, "No way!"
And adds, "You terrorists are out of hand!"
Bloomberg-Klein hold back the kiddies
Who can't spell in New York City
The feds won't give cash
To that Month-by-Month trash
Diana and her spouse are on the Lam.
(Chorus)
The New York Times decides to look at charters
Now how did she develop such a plan?
The AFT provides her with the data
And charter schools take hits throughout the land.
Eduwonk is now perspiring
As Kerry-Edwards are expiring.
The polling looks great
For 2008
In Yiddish, Lieberman means "promised land."
Paige is out, and Spellings in.
Overlooking Dr. Finn.
Margaret, please call
We've advice for you all
The second term agenda's mighty thin.
Gadfly's brought you all this news
Now he's leaving for a cruise
He's taking a break
To rest and vacate
We're walking in our Speedos on the sand. (reprise)
Happy Holidays to friends across the land!
