The Bell Rings


The Bell Rings The bell rings We take our seats And care not for beings Who we can beat The Bell rings We all scurry for the door But joy is not what we sing Instead we talk about who has the most scores We find a freshman And call him a queer Because we think he’s weird And then the bell rings We take our seats And throw paper at the teach We do not hear when it yells at us to stop We simply ignore and give it another shot The Bell Rings.
