About a year ago, I decided that Mr. Greaves needed to record a rap. So I wrote him one, and he agreed to do it. Unfortunately we only recorded one take, and it had lots of buzzing and audio problems because we used my crappy computer mic to do it. Sometimes people called him Greavesthoven, which is why that part is in the song.
Mr. Greaves is retiring this year. Have a good retirement, Mr. Greaves!
And here are the lyrics:
Who's the music teacher who's a hero to all the students?
"Mr. Greaves"
Well done!
The students are acting silly today
But I can control them, I have a way
My methods of teaching cannot be beat
That's what you'll hear if you ask on the street.
CHORUS:
Greavesthoven (Greavesthoven!)
He's Mr. Greaves
Greavesthoven (Greavesthoven!)
He's Mr. Greaves
This little punk here is quite a fool
He thinks he's the best, that's what he believes
But he doesn't know he's under my rule
Because my name is Mr. Greaves
CHORUS
I'm Head of the Arts here at Oakwood
My musical skills are top of the line
You can deny it, it'll do you no good
Cause you know I'm so damn fine
CHORUS
I'm so damn fine
(in response to the guitar solo)
No good...
Top-top-top-top of the line!
Well done!
Repeat Chorus.
(the song falls apart, musicians continue playing, frustrating Greaves.)
I don't have time for this silliness!!
