Parodies at Westbrook ES 2024

This is my 12th year at Westbrook!

Ms McCabe’s class ~ topic: book Out of My Mind ~ parody of Flowers by Miley Ray Cyrus

Verse 1 

Melody - she can’t talk.  

She can’t write and she can’t walk.

Tries to fit in - it’s a pain.

Nobody knows what’s in her brain.

Pre-Chorus 1

I really like Ms. Katherine.  She’s my best friend.

She always stands up for me until the end.

Chorus 1

I don’t mind that I’m different

But I just want to fit in 

With my very own gifts

I’m smarter than I look

Even though I can’t talk

Or I can’t walk

Yeah I can fit -it it - in

Bridge

Can love me better, I can love me better Molly.

Can love me better, I can love me better Claire.

Verse 2 

I was smart.  I was bold.

Had answers - left untold.

Can not lose.  Can’t be stopped.

Never end til I reach the top.

Pre-Chorus 2

Mr. Dimming wanted to leave me.  He didn’t want me there.

He thought I wasn’t good enough to be somewhere.

Chorus 

Melody can go to school.

Molly and Claire shut her out.

Cause they think she’s a fool.

She was filled with doubt.

She had cerebral palsy

But she can reach the top

Because she is smart and never gave up.

Bridge

Can love me better, I can love me better Dimming.

Can love be better than H-5 ever can.

Mrs Bussard’s class ~ topic: technological evolution ~ parody of Flowers by Miley Ray Cyrus

Verse 1:
No stereos, no cassettes
You cannot purchase them yet
Couldn’t yet make a call
So you had to write it all

1 Pre-Chorus:

Found a quicker way to gossip, and it is morse code
We can speak faster, my brain will explode

Chorus 1: 

I can buy myself iPhones 

Alexander Graham Bell

Add new games on my phone
Many stories to tell
I can shop online for Spanks

Look it up on my cell

Yeah, my iPhone is more slay than yours

Bridge:
I can use laptops, yeah I can use tablets, baby
I checked my smart watch, yeah I’m watching YouTube, baby

Verse 2:
Translated text into French
Then I emailed my best friend

Thumb typed 10 emojis
But that’s okay because she’s pleased 

2 Pre-Chorus:

Found a quicker way to gossip, and it is Tik Tok
We can speak faster, up and down the block

Chorus 2:
We can use technology
CD’s and MP3’s
To hear your viral memes
Watch things you don’t understand
I can stare at a TV
And I can use everything
Put a CD in and dance, oh yeah

Bridge:
I can use laptops, yeah I can use some laptops, baby
I can use some laptops, yeah I can use some laptops, baby
I can use some laptops, yeah I can use some laptops, baby
Can use technology

“Weather’s Power” ~ topic: weather ~ parody of Golden Hour by JVKE

By Ms. Naatz’s Third Graders

Sky was filled with floaters,

With the light blue sky, in the grass so fine.

It was such nice weather.

My skin was feeling warm, there were no big storms.

We’re all together.

Clouds look like a feather.

Oh no, we’re losing light, now there’s a gray sky.

I saw a thousand drops of rain in the sky.

Cats and dogs pouring down.

It kept descending through the night.

I wish there could be some light blue.

Sky.

Filled with golden sun (oh no).

Let’s go outside.

Sun and rain and life (oh no).

Middle of the summer,

Running super fast, through the raining dash,

One puddle to another.

Thunderstorm on blast, make the lightning last,

Mother Nature’s power, weather’s a disaster.

It knew it was the loudest, can you even imagine?

Twisters rip off roofs in the dreadful storm.

Lightning struck your hallway.

A horrible force at your door.

Hear the thunder roar.

Blizzards blew in clouds of snow through the night,

And white covered the fields.

Light making all frost so bright.

The snow is piled seven feet up.

High.

Filled with blinding light (oh no).

Let’s go outside.

Sun and rain and life (oh no).
