Deep Doodoo

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When the classroom's packed, and the library's shut And ev'ry year there's a budget cut And the textbooks only keep on gettin' dumber When standards seem to be on the skids And it gets so even the kids have kids And ev'ryone can hardly wait till summer Then we're in deep doodoo Deep, deep doodoo What can folks like me and you do When the doodoo Gets so deep? And gettin' deeper When we can't compete with the Japanese Or the Portuguese, or the chimpanzees And ev'rybody plays by diff'rent rules It ain't a question of when or whether Any fool can put two and two together Unless they took new math at one of our schools Yes, we're in deep doodoo Deep, deep doodoo God knows there's plenty to do When the doodoo Gets so deep and gettin' deeper When some schools feel like combat sectors With guns and gangs and metal detectors (Remember how we felt guilty just "Playin' hooky"?) When the school is broke, and homework's a joke And the kids do booze or grass or coke We've come a long way from choc'late milk and a cookie And we're in deep doodoo Deep, deep doodoo And it's gonna take more than voodoo 'Cause the doodoo Is so deep and gettin' deeper People keep givin' me the same old pitch "If you're so smart, why ain't you rich?" I've heard that all my life, and I know it by heart And to tell the truth, I wish I knew But, America, I'm askin' you If you're so rich, why ain't you smart? Yes, we're in deep doodoo Deep, deep doodoo So ask yourself what can you do When the doodoo Gets so deep It's time to look and time to leap There's promises we've got to keep And as you sow, so shall you reap But whatever it is, it won't be cheap 'Cause the doo, doo is so deep
