One Job May Change My Life: A Dr. Seuss Interpretation
Location
Oh no...
Today is my day
I'm off to new places
I'm off and away
My brains have been fried
My shoes are worn down
It seems the whole world
Wants me out of this town
I don't know what I know
And plently of people want to decide where I'll go
I'll look at the jobs, look them over with care
about some I will say, "Please God, not there!"
With my brains that are fried
and my shoes all worn down
I'll say to myself, "I miss my old town."
And I may find
A job that I hate
In that case, of course,
Please open the gates
At this job, things can happen
And they frequently do
To the people who work
As hard as I do
And when things start to happen
I won't worry
Nor will I stew
I'll go right along
I'll start happening too
I'll be on my way up!
I'll work with my might!
I'll join the high fliers
Who soar to high heights
I WON'T lag behind, because I'll have the speed
I'll pass the whole gang, and I WILL take the lead
Whatever I do
I'll be the best of the best
Wherever I go
I will top all the rest
Oh, the places I'll go! There is work to be done!
There are scripts to be written, there are songs to be sung
On the set I will break through that fourth wall
And that will make me the best actress of all!
Fame! I'll be famous as famous can be,
With the whole wide world, watching me on TV
So...
Be it easy, or hard,
I'll be on my guard
I'm off to Great Places!
Today is my day!
My dream job is waiting
I'm off on my way!
