THE LUNCH LADY’S A GENIUS
The lunch lady’s a genius
Don’t tell anyone
But on the weekends
She does calculus just for fun
The lunch lady’s a genius
She once made a sculpture
For the nature museum
Of an ultra rare vulture
The lunch lady’s a genius
And I’ll tell you what
She studied the dolphins
And lived in a hut
The lunch lady’s a genius
She can name the subspecies
Of the American muskrat
By the scent of its feces
The lunch lady’s a genius
You know what I heard?
She can tell by their tweet
Sixty five types of bird
The lunch lady’s a genius
You know what I saw?
Some architect blueprints
The town had her draw
The lunch lady’s a genius
There’s no need to fear
She’s invented a car
That can self brake and steer
The lunch lady’s a genius
She met with the Queen
To discuss a new theory
On the latest vaccine
The lunch lady’s a genius
She flew to Taiwan
For a weekend to graph
Coral reef and their spawn
The lunch lady’s a genius
And no, she won’t tell
But she corrected a thesis
By Alexander Graham Bell
The lunch lady’s a genius
And wouldn’t you know
She plays violin
Trombone and banjo
The lunch lady’s a genius
She went to Hollywood
To study the Redwoods
Where the weather is good
The lunch lady is fun
She reads at libraries
And does all the voices
Of the gnomes and the fairies
The lunch lady is brave
She flies high and low
To study the mountains
And record fallen snow
The lunch lady is handy
She drives near and far
So she’s learned to repair
All the parts of her car
The lunch lady’s creative
She went way Down Under
Photographing the ocean
With lightning and thunder
The lunch lady saves lives
And once on vacation
At dinner one night
She did a quick operation
The lunch lady’s a thespian
And wouldn’t you know
She writes Broadway plays
And directed a show
The lunch lady’s an athlete
And gosh ain't it grand
When she throws the first pitch
And then cheers from the stand
The lunch lady is clever
She lead a safari
Back home to safety
When the guide said “Where are we?”
The lunch lady knows facts
She fills up with mirth
When she talks about
The exact size of the Earth!
The lunch lady is brilliant
She reads William Shakespeare
While old fashioned duck calling
And catches a pair
The lunch lady’s fantastic
So weird but it’s true
She slept with the penguins
One night at the zoo
The lunch lady is wild
She heads on the trail
Brings only the musts
Fresh footprints to trail
The lunch lady’s so smart
You know she helped NASA
Make all of their rockets
Go just a teeny bit faster
The lunch lady does tricks
Oh, don’t you know
She can use her cell phone
With just her big toe
The lunch lady explores
She’s so curious
She drove to the desert
To study the cactus
The lunch lady’s a genius
She once took a chance
And hopped on a flight
For a weekend in France
And once she was there
They asked her to move
To grand ol’ Paris
To teach art at the Louve
She had to say no
For her schedule was full
Meeting some friends
Down in old Istanbul
The lunch lady’s a genius
I know it because
I’ve heard all about
All the things that she does
The lunch lady’s a genius
And she works in the school
She makes the kids laugh
They all think that she’s cool
The lunch lady is friendly
She’s kind and she’s nice
She remember kid’s names
And gives good advice
The lunch lady is special
She’s kind and alert
She says “Eat all your veggies,
But save room for dessert!”
The lunch lady works hard
She serves all the children
She loves seeing their faces
She finds it fulfilling
But after school
When it’s time to go home
And on the weekends and summers
She just loves to roam
And on the last day of school
She says “See you soon!”
As she rises above
In her hot air balloon
