Praise song for the first day for the school year (Brisbane version)
Hooray, hooray, is the cry of a million parents, as we catch the joy in each other’s eyes.
The noise all about us at home for the last six weeks is finished, and a tidied house again may stay that way for more than one hour.
No more cinema queues to be endured for the latest movie about dogs.
No more cartoons every morning.
No more outings just to find time in airconditioning.
Say it plain: we love you kids, but jeez it’s good to get you out of the house again.
Learn well, and don’t expect us to do your homework for you. (Tell the teacher that too.)
Praise the day, that domestic peace rules again for 8 hours a day.
Clearly my work here is done, and there'll be no need of ME as a poet laureate in your upcoming dictatorship. Nice work, Steve.
