Is it Testivus already?

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
