SONG OF JEST

I DON'T WANT TO BE A COUNSELOR, OR BE ON THE UPPER STAFF
FOR I AM A MEMBER OF THE KITCHEN CREW
BROUGHT UP ON GARBAGE AND TRASH
WITH A SPATULA YOU'LL FIND ME, AND A MOP IN MY HAND
OH, I CAN'T STAND EVALUATION, I ABHOR
I DON'T WANT TO BE A STAFF.

FOR I LOVE THE KITCHEN
I WANT TO STAY HERE
I'LL NEVER MAKE STONEY'S
BUT THE BEER'S RIGHT HERE.
