Shel Silverstein - Crazy Dream lyrics

Last night I had a crazy dream That I was teachin school. My teachers had turned into kids, And I laid down the rules. I gave ‘em a hundred hist'ry books To memorize each night, And made ‘em read ‘em on their heads Without turnin' on the light. I sent ‘em on a field trip To the outskirts of Mongolia, And gave ‘em an overnight a**ignment To grow a twenty-foot purple magnolia. I asked ‘em how many awful grades Can cause how many tears? And if they got one answer wrong, I just hung ‘em up by their ears. And when they talked or laughed in cla**, I pinched ‘em ‘til they cried Louder and louder-'til I woke up Feelin' very satisfied.
