School Of Rock

Overly enthusiastic guitarist Dewey Finn (Jack Black) gets thrown out of his bar band and finds himself in desperate need of work. Posing as a substitute music teacher at an elite private elementary school, he exposes his students to the hard rock gods he idolizes and emulates -- much to the consternation of the uptight principal (Joan Cusack). As he gets his privileged and precocious charges in touch with their inner rock Baby we was making straight A's
But we was stuck in a dumb daze
Don't take much to memorize your lies
I feel like I've been a hypnotized
And then that magic man he come to town
(Woo Wee)
He spun my head round
He said recess is in session
2 and 2 make 5
And now baby oh I'm alive
Oh yeah
I am alive

[Chorus]
And if you wanna be a teachers pet
Well baby you just better forget it
Rock got no reason
Rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time
OH YEAH (yeah)

[Verse 2: Tomika (Jack Black)]
Oh you know I was on the Honor Roll
Got Good grades
And got no soul
Raise my hand before I could speak my mind
I've been biting my tongue too many times
(And then that magic man said to obey)
Uh huh
(Do what magic man do)
(Not what magic man say)
Say What
(Now can I please have the attention of the class)
(Todays assignment)*cough cough*
Kick some ass

[Chorus] x2
And if you wanna be a teachers pet
Well baby you just better forget it
Rock got no reason
Rock got no Rhyme
You better get me to school on time

Oh Yeah! (yeah)

[Outro: Jack Black]
This is my final exam
Now you all know who I am
I may not be that perfect son
But ya'll be rocking when I'm done

(Instrumental solo)
