How Tired I Art

(sung to the tune of "How Great Thou Art")

Oh, when I teach a class of English Grammar,

I wonder how more stupid kids can get.
They look at me as though I speak Swahili,
Or else they think I’m nuts, more than a bit.

(chorus)
It’s then I know I want to go to bed.
How tired I art.
How tired I art.
It’s then I feel much like the living dead.
How tired I art.
How tired I art.

When the alarm rings, in the morning early,
I wonder why I stayed up quite so late.
And then I go and teach those kids so squirrly.
I pray, a life of this won’t be my fate.

(chorus)

[dramatic key change]

One day, I know I’ll lose my mind completely.
Someday, I’m sure, my sanity will snap.
And then I’ll die, but please don’t feel too badly.
To me it’s just like an extended nap.

(chorus 2x)
