Teachers Writing Parody during Covid

Teachers are working so hard to Zoom with all their students, so I hope my songwriting workshop was a bit of respite for the Anne Arundel County teachers who joined my virtual workshop on May 26. We learned about writing a parody and how it could be used for teaching. Finally we wrote our own parody of Call Me Maybe, called Teach You Maybe.

Teach You Maybe?

V1

I coughed and sneezed in your face

Hogan made us stay in place

So we stocked our liquor case

And there's still no Charmin

I'd trade my soul for wine

Even if I stand in line

And 6 feet apart is fine

And there's still no Charmin

V2: 

My microphone has cut out 

But you can still see my my pout 

i want to scream and to shout 

But you can't hear anyway 

Pre- Chorus  

Do I have my coffee?

Wait I need to go pee

Does my face look happy

Let's get this Google Meet Thing Poppin'!

Chorus: 

Hey, I miss you, and times are crazy, 

But here’s my meet code, so join me maybe? 

It’s hard not being together lately, but here’s my meet code, so join me maybe?

Hey, I miss you, and times are crazy

But here’s my meet code, so join me maybe? 

And I hope to see you in person maybe

But here's my meet code, so join me maybe?

V3 

You have to work to get smart

Math reading science and the arts 

We all have to do our part

'Cause we're in virtual school

V4: 

I really miss you, my friends,              

and all your pencils and pens

Can't wait 'til this whole thing ends

When will this be over? 

Pre- Chorus  

Do I have my coffee?

Wait I need to go pee

Does my face look happy

Let's get this Google Meet Thing Poppin'!

Chorus: 

Hey, I miss you, and times are crazy, 

But here’s my meet code, so join me maybe? 

It’s hard not being together lately, but here’s my meet code, so join me maybe?

Hey, I miss you, and times are crazy

But here’s my meet code, so join me maybe? 

And I hope to see you in person maybe

But here's my meet code, so join me maybe?
