Westbrook Elementary School Parodies 2014
Preposterous Parodies at Westbrook 2014
This year’s songs focus on different biomes: desert, grassland, ocean, rainforest, tundra, forest. Each class tackled two of them.
Once again the creative students at Westbrook Elementary have written some great parodies of recent hits. Great work, and many thanks to the fantastic teachers, parents and administration that make this residency such a pleasure to do!
Desert (parody of Treasure by Bruno Mars)
Verse 1:
Really hot, burning hot, scorching hot in the desert
Dying for icy cold water in these places
Coyotes and gila monsters you could get so hurt
But you’re fainting out here so you want to find an oasis
Pre-chorus 1:
I’m dy-y-ing
I know that I’m complaining but it’s hot out here (hot out here)
I’m dy-y-ing
A scorpion just stung me now and I got tears (I got tears)
Chorus 1:
Desert, you may not survive
It’s so hot there you could die
There are barely any trees
I need some water please
The wolves are after me, me, me
Verse 2:
Grassland, grassland, grassland it’s so green here
I look around and I see no waving trees
Once in a while, there’s a flaming fire
I’m freaking out it is going past my knees
Pre-chorus 2:
Oh graaaaass lands
I know you’re unaware that cheetahs hunt their prey (everyday)
Oh graaaaass lands
Boy I’m gonna show you how it’s cold all night (hot all day)
Chorus 2:
Grasslands, that is where we are
The grass is huge and tall
Wildebeests graze on their cuisine
African plains are clearly seen
The lions get a lot of pro-tein, tein
Bridge:
A spiny cactus, it’s in the desert
If there’s a sandstorm you’d better close your eyes
The grass is so tall, that you should measure
The bobcats stalk here, they paw at butterflies
Chorus 3:
Treasures, that’s what these places are
Finding water’s just too hard
Hottest and flattest lands I’ve seen
They are mostly brown and green
The conditions are hard and mean oh oh
Raining/Freezing (parody of Happy by Pharrell Williams)
Verse 1
It might seem green with trees around the place
Steaming climate, no freezing snowflakes
Toucans in the canopy, a happy space
Jaguars climb, and snap at prey, get out their face
Chorus 1
(Because it’s raining)
Climb along like a howler monkey in a Kapok tree
(Because it’s pouring)
Watch your step. Don’t get munched by a python in the canopy
(Because it’s steaming)
Take cover on the forest floor or get soaked like me
(Because it’s sticky)
Shriek and pray if you just got stung by a killer bee
Verse 2
Here come the seals, flopping on the ice
Snowy owls like, to eat the juicy mice
Watch out for freezing Cold, it will chill your hands
There are no trees, but fluffy plants
Frostbite
Chorus 2
(Because it is freezing)
Clap along if you feel the little hairs on the plants
(Because it’s freezing)
Flip along if you see the seals blubbering dance
(Because it’s freezing)
Clap along if you know that the nights can last for weeks
(Because it’s freezing)
Flip along if you see the penguins doing leaps
Bridge-- 2x
(Freezing, freezing, freezing, freezing)
Super cold. Warm me up
(Pouring, pouring, pouring, pouring)
Rain cascades. Umbrella now
(Snowing, snowing, snowing, snowing)
Surrounded by angry seals
(Soaking, soaking, soaking, soaking)
Get me out, I’m wet
Chorus 1
(Because it’s raining)
Climb along like a howler monkey in a Kapok tree
(Because it’s pouring)
Watch your step. Don’t get munched by a python in the canopy
(Because it’s steaming)
Take cover on the forest floor or get soaked like me
(Because it’s sticky)
Shriek and pray if you just got stung by a killer bee
Chorus 2
(Because it is freezing)
Clap along if you feel the little hairs on the plants
(Because it’s freezing)
Flip along if you see the seals blubbering dance
(Because it’s freezing)
Clap along if you know that the nights can last for weeks
(Because it’s freezing)
Flip along if you see the penguins doing leaps
On Top of the Forest (parody of On Top Of The World by Imagine Dragons)
verse 1:
If you swim in oceans
You might as well be a fish, cause
You’ll have gills that let you breathe
You’ll never swim so far, if
Then again it just depends on
How close you are to that shark’s teeth
I’ve gobbled tons of plankton
I’ve dove the deepest waters
Can dive it way down to the deep
I jump right in and swim around
chorus 1:
‘Cause I’m on top of the forest
Ran into a bird’s nest
Creepin’ around for a while now
Huntin’ for bugs in the dirt
I’ve been searching for mermaids
Been surfin’ the white capped foam waves
The ocean seems to grab me
Been swimmin’ in here since a child
I’m on top of the world.
verse 2:
I’ve tried to climb these redwoods
Want to take the easy way up
Up there a squirrel was squeaking at me
I saw a rushing river
Black rat snakes slither past me
Run screaming through a cloud of bees
I sprint away and don’t look back
chorus 2:
‘Cause I’m on top of the forest
Ran into a bird’s nest
Creepin’ around for a while now
Huntin’ for bugs in the dirt
I’ve been searching for mermaids
Been surfin’ the white capped foam waves
The ocean seems to grab me
Been swimmin’ in here since a child
I’m on top of the world.
Blub Blub Blub Blub Blub Blub Blub
Swim faster, Swim faster
Squeak Squeak Squeak
Chirp Chirp
Buzz Buzz
Run faster, Run faster
chorus 3:
‘Cause I’m on top of the forest
Ran into a bird’s nest
Creepin’ around for a while now
Huntin’ for bugs in the dirt
I’ve been searching for mermaids
Been surfin’ the white capped foam waves
The ocean seems to grab me
Been swimmin’ in here since a child
bridge:
And it’s a gorgeous world that we have to save
Pick up trash, take a walk, be green each day
Pick up now, pick up, pick up now.
We need to save foxes, fish and sharks
Help them all or we’ll be cold in the dark
Get up now, get up, get up now.
chorus 4:
‘Cause I’m on top of the forest
Ran into a bird’s nest
Creepin’ around for a while now
Huntin’ for bugs in the dirt
I’ve been searching for mermaids
Been surfin’ the white capped foam waves
The ocean seems to grab me
Been swimmin’ in here since a child
I’m on top of the world.
