FANCY (Uniform Song)

 *UPDATED 12/7/14: 

As you may or may not know, LBUSD has a district-wide uniform policy.  While most of our students and parents understand the economic and safety implications of this policy and abide by it, some students (and parents) need encouragement...

To that end, I decided that I'd use the 2013 Song of Summer, "Fancy," to encourage compliance...

Here's my version:

First thing first: tuck your shirt in
Got this gotta go to school for working
And I’m still in the learning business
In my uniform I’m ready for my lessons
You should always come dressed for success
Don’t worry what to wear so you can do your best
Khaki pants, khaki skirt, khaki shorts,
Blue shirt or green – you know you’ve gotta choice!
Making sure my clothes look great, never sloppy
Clean top or I’ll put it in the laundry
Feet together, arms at your side
Can’t hide that Bulldog Pride!
I’m so fancy – you already know
I’m in uniform everyday I show
I’m so fancy – don’t you waste your dough
Remember every day – dress code!

In case you were wondering, the school I work at, Bret Harte, has a bulldog as a mascot, although I have (and will) change the lyrics for another school/mascot upon request.

Now, if I could only embed the audio somehow... *(FTFY)

Next up, "I'm all about the books, 'bout the books, no TV!" :)
