My friends and I are lucky
And we can hardly wait
Until our school bus drops us
At a school that's really great.
Each day a new adventure
Awaits at 56
A student population
That is a real great mix.
My one friend is from Russia,
Another is from Zaire.
They're from so many places,
And I'm so glad they're here.
There goes my friend Frankie,
He is a whiz at math.
He's on our super math team,
They're on a winning path.
Matthew's on his way to talk
To NASA I would bet,
His daily "astro" contact
On the Internet.
Two classes heading out of school,
I bet they have a ball,
To join a special "linkup"
We have with Carnegie Hall.
Oh, and there goes Patrick,
He's got his basketball
He hopes that in the tournament
His team will win it all.
We really love to read our books,
We never keep them shut,
And for all the books we read
A treat from "Pizza Hut".
Our computer lab is jumping,
The students realize
A really super project
Will win a district prize.
We love our kitchen ladies,
They know just what we like,
Tuna fish for Sami
A hot dog's it for Mike.
And please just stop and listen,
Hear the sweet, sweet sounds.
The echo of our Glee Club
Through the hall resounds.
I hope that you will have a chance
To visit our fine school,
And take it from this person
Who really thinks it's cool.
