Oh, daughter dearest You will wear cableknit sweaters You will become a doctor after studying at Cornell Oh, daughter dearest You will reside on Park Avenue And marry David Cohen at Temple Emanu-El Oh, daddy dearest I don't think your plans sound so swell Oh, daddy dearest I got something I wanna tell you I do love you I do father But I wanna be a punk rocker No, daughter dearest Your best friend will be your therapist Your face won't display pain anymore on account of your facelift No, daughter dearest You'll be alone in your Hamptons home 'Cause David will leave you for his twenty-year-old receptionist No, daddy dearest All your plans for me resemble hell No, daddy dearest I got something I wanna tell you I do love you I do father But I wanna be a punk rocker Oh, daddy, please don't go and erupt in hysterics I was always terrible at math past the arithmetic I'm aware I am defying your expectations But I wanna feel every ear-splitting vibration I know I didn't select a very lucrative art But I gotta listen to the beating of my moshing heart I do love you I do father But I wanna be a punk rocker

All the other fellas always wear something jive But my yellow jacket boy, he stands out in the hive With a coat of yellow leather, he looks mighty fine I can always see him coming down the line Yellow jacket boy I can always see him coming down the line Someday soon I swear I'm gonna make him mine I can feel the buzz That he gets when he's seein' me Yellow jacket boy, Oh, I wanna be your Queen Bee Buzz, buzz, buzz Yellow jacket boy I can always see him coming down the line Someday soon I swear I'm gonna make him mine Ain't gonna be coy 'cause I am proud of being sleazy I wanna talk to you about the birdies and the beesies Ain't gonna be coy 'cause that's an adjective that I'm not I want you darling boy to stick your stinger inside my honey pot

Ms. Dolores 02:41
Under the white light of the cafeteria She hands the beef lasagna To the second grader Who spits onto the beef lasagna Behind the counter She begins to wonder: When did my dreams die? Where did my life go? But Ms. Dolores If you were gone Who would feed the children? How would they get nourishment? Oh Ms. Dolores, recognize the importance of your role Oh Ms. Dolores, go and wipe that frown from under your mole One lunchtime The kids are in line Expecting to dine But there's an issue inside the kitchen Tiny bodies Were collapsing Out of starvation 'Cause Dolores is missing in action She's at home on Cherry Street A-weeping softly under her sheets Thinking I could've been an actress Or I could've been a stewardess I coulda been a million things Besides a school lunch lady Serving children that don't think to thank me But Ms. Dolores When you were gone No one fed the children No one got nourishment Please Ms. Dolores, recognize the importance of your role Please Ms. Dolores, go and wipe that frown from under your mole Someday soon She enters the lunchroom And every elementary schooler Runs to the door to greet her Wrapping their limbs 'round Dolores They tell her they missed her They tell her they love the way she prepares sloppy joes And now she knows Ms. Dolores has recognized the importance of her role Ms. Dolores is wearing a smile underneath her mole
