Lyrics for Carolyn's Retirement Party
Sang to the tune of the "I Love Lucy" theme song
There's a teacher we all know,
A real tech gal who's glad to show
And teach the students (and us too!)
Nothin' she can't do
All the years she gave the schools,
Giving students needed tools,
A friend she'll be always,
That will rule!
Always working and never lax,
Now's the time she can relax
With infomercials (they're first)
They're the best of the worst!
We'll miss Carolyn as we say goodbye
She has her cats so she won't cry
She'll carry us in her heart
So we...won't...part
