vera johnson - the word lyrics

the b.c. department of education
told some english teachers recently
“if you want to delete a certain word from a grade 12 text book
pick up a pencil and please feel free,”
the committee who had passed the book
felt their faces turning red
so they all resigned in protest
and this is what they said:

“you may think we’re clap clap censors
but we’re only here to teach
you may think we’re clap clap preachers
but we didn’t come to preach
you may think we’re clap clap cowards
but we’re really bold as brass
and you can take you’re clap clap pencil
clap clap clap clap clap clap”

the b.c. department of education
thought this commentary very rude
they demanded apologies from all the committee
and they warned without them they might be sued
the committee said, “apologize?
well, our answer is no thanks
and we wonder just how you know
what fits in all those blanks”
“you may think we’re clap clap censors
but we’re only here to teach
you may think we’re clap clap preachers
but we didn’t come to preach
you may think we’re clap clap cowards
but we’re really bold as brass
and you can take you’re clap clap pencil
clap clap clap clap clap clap”

the b.c. department of education
should have learned a useful lesson here:
it you want to protect someone from course, brutal
you should first make sure it’s strange to his ear
if you want to test his knowledge
sing a chorus from this song
if he knows the words already
he’ll smile before too long
