The Lizard

Playing in class
With a lizard in a glass
And run by the teacher foot
The lizard get away from Ruth
Oh Lord, the children frighten
Wonder what go happen?
But the teacher laughing out "kee kee kee!"
Only watching everybody

Hey, the lizard run up she foot and it disappear
Everybody still searching everywhere
"Where the lizard, teacher Mildred?"
"..."
The way she jolly and happy
I sure the lizard must be tickling she!

"Outside and play!"
That is all the teacher say
Well, all the children so amazed
At the teacher's peculiar ways
Eh-eh, she must be goin' mad
She used to be bad
But instead of beating she give recess
With the lizard under she dress

Hey, the lizard run up she foot and it disappear
Everybody still searching everywhere
"Where the lizard, teacher Mildred?"
"..."
The way she jolly and happy
I sure the lizard must be tickling she!

Well, the children start to fret
How the teacher take they pet
Well, little Ruthie jump and shout
"Suppose it stick some way and can't come out?
Oh Lord, teacher Mildred, don't kill meh lizard!"
But the teacher tell she to shut up she mouth
"What is that you're talking 'bout?"

The lizard run up she foot and it disappear
Everybody still searching everywhere
"Where the lizard, teacher Mildred?"
"..."
The way she jolly and happy
I sure the lizard must be tickling she!

Well, the class start to yell
When she get up to ring the bell
The lizard fall off from she dress
And the teacher now get speechless
"Aha! Teacher Mildred, this is meh lizard!"
But before little Ruthie done complain
The lizard run up again

Hey, the lizard run up she foot and it disappear
Everybody still searching everywhere
"Where the lizard, teacher Mildred?"
"..."
The way she jolly and happy
I sure the lizard must be tickling she!
