about

Written by Monty Harper with Mrs. Henderson's 5th grade class, Skyline, 2012

lyrics

It’s coming!
Look out!
Here it comes now!
Look out!

Gonna be a - Crash landing
When the new school year begins
New teachers - New lockers
New subjects and new friends
Fifth grade is the home we will be flying from
Look out, Planet Middle School,
here we
come!

Some say leaving elementary school is just like leaving home
Some say middle school teachers can be meaner than Tibble the gnome
Some say middle school’s a monster - if you’re smart you better run
Some say it’s a roller coaster ride full of wild and furious fun
Some say leaving elementary school is bound to break your heart
Friends who grew like flowers on a stem may begin to grow apart
Some say middle school’s a prison filled with walls that block your way
Some call middle school a birthday bash with new surprises every day

Repeat Chorus

Some say middle school’s an ice cream truck where every new friend is a treat
Some say it’s something like an alien world
full of creatures that you’re pretty sure you never wanna meet
Some say middle school’s a swim at the beach -
with the warm sun on your back
Others say yes, it is a swim at the beach and you’ll probably feel a shark attack
Some say Middle School’s a lawnmower ride - if you fall it might chop you down
Some say it’s like a trip to Hollywood, and you’re gonna take over the town
Some say it’s something like an elephant stampede, pretty much out of control
Some would be happy just staying behind and some of us are raring to go

Repeat Chorus
