Lyrics

[NOAH, spoken] The next day I go off to school [ROSE] Noah, darling, study hard You should see his last report card, Papa Everything C's and D's [MR. STOPNICK] Look at this The hypocrites Eulogizing, rhapsodizing Kennedy, Kennedy They hated him They murdered him Did him in And now... [ROSE, spoken] Good morning, Caroline [NOAH] All day long I sit at school Drifting, dreaming in the classroom Inattentive 'cause I'm bored [ROSE, STUART & MR. STOPNICK] Study, Noah, study hard [NOAH] Drawing doodles, Maccabees Bumblebees, Christmas trees And all the toys I plan to buy with... Buy with... Buy with...
