Don't you hate the rat race we all find ourselves trapped in? We get so caught up in work and the craziness of life that the most important days of the year sneak up on us. Then, one day we get up and realize, oh know! I'm not prepared for the holidays! That happened to me this week. I haven't sent out a single Testivus card or greeting this year. So, without further ado, here are this year's carols. Happy Testivus everyone!
Testivus Is Coming to Town
(to the tune of Santa Claus Is Coming to Town)
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Testivus is coming to town
We're making a list, We're checking it twice;
If everyone passed it would be nice.
Testivus is coming to town
They know when you've been teaching
They know when you're a fake
They know if you've been bad or good
Based on the test they take
Without a pay raise or even kind words
We march to the beat of the testing overlords
Testivus is coming to town
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Testivus is coming
Testivus is coming
Testivus is coming to town
E-O-G's
(to the tune of Silver Bells)
E-O-G's, M-S-L's
It's testing time in the school house
Bub-bl-ling answer sheets
Soon it will be testing day
Teachers stressing, students cramming, practicing released tests
In the air there's a feeling of nausea
Catatonic, zero brainwaves, Let's do one more question
And in every classroom you will hear
E-O-G's, M-S-L's
It's testing time in the school house
Bub-bl-ling answer sheets
Soon it will be testing day
Stacks of paper representing all the test prep we'll do
Teachers working for their value added measures
Parents worried about their children and what the scores mean
And above all this bustle you'll hear
E-O-G's, M-S-L's
It's testing time in the school house
Bub-bl-ling answer sheets
Soon it will be testing day
Soon it will be testing day
