HEY THERE!

Hi teachers… this site has the videos to all the dance parts, but of course, I put them on out of order.  The true order would be like this:

Johnny Wayne verse.

Annie Oakley verse.

Dance Break (Men & Women simultaneous)

Johnny Cash verse.

Check out the videos that pertain to you.

I hope they help!

Song

Country Music Teacher’s Song

- Avalon and Brookewood Faculty –

 

BOSTICK:             I remember the olden days

When the law was the law

When everyone would respond

To a little shock and awe

Nowadays things have changed

A teacher ain’t got a prayer

It’s kind of perverse how the roles reversed

Now we’re in the electric chair

DAVERN:             I wanna be like Johnny Wayne

                                Just like those days of old

                                Ride through town in high renown

                                And then sleep out in the cold

MTEACHER2:      When you’re “The Duke”, the boys will spook

                                Like cattle on the drive

                                But if a pilgrim rejects a single sign of respect

                                Then he’ll respect my Colt 45

 

ALL:                        I miss those olden days

                                Those tried and true country-western ways                       

                                ‘Cause nobody messes with Jesse James                                            

                                An’ if you do, you’re mighty brave

                                Things in this life can get pretty gray

                                Your truck may die down and your dog may stray

                                Just give me one kid who hears what I say

                                And I’ll be happy to my grave

 

FTEACHER1:        I wanna be like Annie Oakley

                                My voice would light a spark

                                E’en a little shout at some tiny sprout

                                Would never miss its mark

FTEACHER2:        They’d think I’s sweet just because I’s petite

                                But they’d learn right quick what’s true

 

ALL:                        I miss those olden days

                                Those tried and true country-western ways

                                ‘Cause nobody messes with Calamity Jane

NTEACHER:         An’ if you do, you’re mighty brave

ALL:                        Things in this life ain’t always so bright

NTEACHER:         The fish in yonder pond don’t always bite

ALL:                        Just give me one kid who don’t try to fight

                                And I’ll be happy to my grave

BRIDGE

FTEACHER3:        If we tried a single old way

                                Those kids wouldn’t give us no sass

MTEACHER3:      In this age, they’d lock me in a cage

                                And slap a lawsuit on my… head

DANCE BREAK

 

MTEACHER4:      I wanna be like Johnny Cash

                                Wearin’ black and lookin’ stern

                                Make ‘em dig a hole for their parole

                                If their hearts beat out of turn

FTEACHER4:        They’d eat nothin’ but gruel, it’d make ‘em cruel

                                But it’d make ‘em pay their dues

                                Though they weren’t guilty of one felony

                                They’d have the Folsom Prison Blues

ALL:                        I miss those days I knew

                                That tried and true country-western view

                                ‘Cause nobody messes with a boy named Sue

NTEACHER:         An’ if you do, you’re mighty brave

ALL:                        Things in this life can go awry

NTEACHER:         Your whiskey still is still running dry

ALL:                        Just give me one student who hears me sigh

                                And I’ll be happy to my grave

MUSIC.  This is the piano version of the song so you can hear it.  The words are also on here.
DANCE BREAK for MEN.  Ladies should watch this too because I don’t go back over everything in the “DANCE BREAK for LADIES” section because some of what the ladies do is identical to what the men do.

Avalon / Brookewood Gala Teachers' Blog

The videos to the teachers’ dance will be uploaded here.  The first 90% or so of each video is instructional, so if you just want to see the dance, go to the very end.  Enjoy!
