GRADE
SOMEBODY
(Tune:
Serve Somebody [Dylan])
It
might be a scantron where they fill in the dots
It
might be short answer or maybe they write lots
It
might be problems to solve or a long take home test
It
might be true false, it might be mujltiple guess
But
you're gonna have to grade somebody
Yes
you are, you're gonna have to grade somebody
It
might be a failure, or it might be an A
But
you're gonna have to grade somebody
They
might be a student teacher learning how to teach
They
might be a Bible major leaning how to preach
They
might be in theatre learning not to block a part
They
might play a recital and give it all their heart
[Chorus]
It
might be an English comp class learning how to write.
It
might be a sloppy job that they wrote just last night
It
might be
Maybe
serious research, maybe worthless as hay
[Chorus]
They
might be a missions intern working in
A
practicum in social work where they learn just what to do
It
might be criminal justice, working with kids that's cruel
Or
elementary education teaching in the public school
[Chorus]
Might
to use quizzes, might like real big tests
Might
like review sessions, might like group projects
Might
like to use bell curves, might like a percent
Might
like early classes, no matter what's your bent
Still
you're gonna have to grade somebody
Yes
you are, you're gonna have to grade somebody
It
might be a failure, or it might be an A
Yeah,
you're gonna have to grade somebody
