Parodies at Westbrook 2023

This is the 11th year I’ve been writing songs at Westbrook!

Mrs Kriss’ class parody of Radioactive - topic: Mathematics

I’m stuck in math, I need to pass

I want to go but I can’t leave class

Eureka math makes me stressed

The teacher said to decompose

But it’s the task I never chose

I have a test I wanna rest

Whoa!

I’m multiplying my head will explode

My brain will have an overload

Problems on the new page, on the new page

Crying on the new page, on the new page

Multiplication, multiplication, helps you count faster, helps you count faster

Multiplication, multiplication, helps you count faster, to be a master

I did my math and got an A

Mrs. Kriss was glad I got a good grade

Take a look my joyful grin

Whoa!

I’m going to study not make a fuss

Then leave for home on the school bus

We’re having a division quiz

Whoa!

I got my pencil on my paper

I got my ruler to measure

Welcome to the side lengths, to the width lengths

Welcome to the side lengths, to the width lengths

I’m calculating, concentrating, I’m finding area, finding area

I’m calculating, I’m concentrating, I’m finding area, finding area

All problems done, the sun comes inside

Then I pack up, I’m still alive

Xtramath is done, let’s celebrate

Ciao Mrs. Kriss, I’m out the gate

Addition and subtraction, that’s what I’ve mastered

Multiplication and division, I’ve also mastered

Addition and subtraction, It’s Xtramath, it’s xtramath

Multiplication and division, It’s xtramath, it’s xtramath

Mr. LaPadua’s class parody of Levitating

Title: Hibernating

Verse 1

Chameleons can change their color

Polar bears are like no other, hiding in the winter snow

Weasels shed their skin so they can blend in, 

Owls know things that you should learn and know

Bucks’ horns battling, females are depending

Black moths have very big wings

Stripes if you’re a zebra and spots if you’re a cheetah

No one sees them wherever they go

Prechorus 1

We’re otters, we’re underwater

We’re swimming calm-, -ly like saltwater

We hold our, breath like no other

Gulp gulp gulp gulp gulp

Chorus 1

I got strong, eyesight, in the moonlight

I got spikes, on my side

Come on, snooze with me

I’m hibernating

Strong, feathers, in the, sunlight

I got spikes, on my side

Come on, snooze with me

I’m hibernating

Verse 2

If you have some blubber 

Then you see it’s not just rubber when 

You’re stomping in the polar ice

If you have light feathers

(baby) You can go wherever, see, it’s not just a roll of the dice

If you have scales, then

See, it never fails

You can have ‘em on your tails

Otters are a good example

Of furs that you can handle, dark and brown fur so nice.

Prechorus 2

We’re toucans, we’re singing

My vocals, are ringing

My long beak, it’s munching 

Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp

Chorus 2 

I hunt food, all night, by the, moonlight

I’m with you, for life

Come on hide with me

I’m camouflaging

You, moonlight, you’re my, food tonight

I need you, pork chops

Come on hide with me

I’m camouflaging

Bridge

Arctic animals with helpful traits

It’s their habitat, a freezing place

In the icy windy tundra space

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, I’m thick and furry

We are penguins and we can’t take flight

But our feathers keep us warm at night

Sorry I can’t take you for a ride

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Chorus 1

I got strong, eyesight, in the moonlight

I got spikes, on my side

Come on, snooze with me

I’m hibernating

Strong, feathers, in the, sunlight

I got spikes, on my side

Come on, snooze with me

I’m hibernating

Chorus 2 

Food, all night, by the, moonlight

I’m with you, for life

Come on hide with me

I’m camouflaging

You-moonlight, you’re my, food tonight

I need you, pork chops

Come on hide with me

I’m camouflaging

Parody of Radioactive - topic: biomes & animal adaptations

Chorus 1:

I’m waking up to all these animals!

Trying to live on their own!

With their adaptations, adaptations.

They don’t have starvation, starvation.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa oh oh oh their adaptations, adaptations.

Whoa oh, oh, oh, oh whoa oh, oh oh their adaptations, adaptations.

Verse 2:

I go down low, in the sea.

I have eight tentacles, don't you see.

Octopi can squeeze right in, whoa!

The venom helps me kill my prey.

Change my color every single day.

I swim around, without a fin, whoa!

Chorus 2:

I'm feeling cold, feathers, or fuzzy fur.

I'm just gonna sleep all winter.

Welcome to the cold air, to the cold air.

Welcome to the arctic, to the arctic.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I’m fully adapted, fully adapted.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm fully adapted, fully adapted!

 

Bridge:

Chameleons camouflage to hide.

Changing color to survive.

Chorus 3:

I’m hungry, starving, sneaking through the trees.

Hiding from my enemies.

We need a habitat, to protect us.

We need a habitat, to protect us

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, food and a habitat, food and a habitat.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, food and a habitat, food and a habitat.

Animal Survival by Ms. McCabe’s class; parody of Message in a Bottle by Taylor Swift, topic: animal adaptations

Verse 1:

The alligators hunt in rainforests

They go around biting

Prey they are baiting, baiting

Camels they don’t need much water cause the desert is hotter

Burning

Prechorus 1:

Besides, without camouflage they would have died

Camouflage can he-elp you hi-i-i–i-ide

They’re looking at you, disguised

Chorus:

Creatures are the ones that adap-ap-apt

Escaping from predators so they aren’t tra-a-a-apped

Changing for survival is all they can do

And if they don’t do it they be-come food

‘Cuz they can be the ones that fly- fly - fly 

And that can be the reason they survi-i-i-ive

Changing for survival is all they can do

And if they don’t do it they be-come food

Verse 2:

The-e-e-e-ese days sharks are grinning

Penguins are swimming

Webbed feet are steering, steering

But when the wi-i-i-ind gets blowing

Penguins get going

Huddling 

Prechorus 2:

Hey girl, we are gonna talk about birds

Birds can fly up high in the wo-o-o-orld

With their neat feathers, it’s so cool

Chorus:

Creatures are the ones that adap-ap-apt

Escaping from predators so they aren’t trapped

Changing for survival is all they can do

And if they don’t do it they be-come food

‘Cuz they can be the ones that fly-fly - fly 

And that can be the reason they survi-i-i-ive

Changing for survival is all they can do

And if they don’t do it they be-come food

Bridge:

What’s it like as a shark?

Nose has picked up a spark

Hope you can’t see me in the da-a-a-a-ark

(pause)

You could be the one that I eat

And now I’m swimming there hoping that you taste sweet

Chorus:

Creatures are the ones that adap-ap-apt

Escaping from predators so they aren’t trapped

Changing for survival is all they can do

And if they don’t do it they be-come food

‘Cuz they can be the ones that fly-fly-fly

And that can be the reason they survi-i-i-ive

Changing for survival is all they can do

And if they don’t do it they be-come food

Coda:

Creatures are the ones that adap-ap-apt 

Creatures are the ones that adap-ap-apt

And if they don’t do it they be-come food
