new version of "Ain't It Good"

(based on "Ain't It Good" from the musical "Children of Eden," written by Stephen Schwartz)

Oh, look up there, on the calendar!
Is it the month of June?
On the twenty-second of this month,
We’ll be out before noon
We’ve been in school so long
That we can’t wait for it to end
The heat is broken, and our books are unattached
When school is closed, we won’t attend it

Ain’t it sweet to think about it,
The last day of junior year
Will it come?
We start to doubt it,
Though we know
It’s almost here

No more tests, and no more quizzes
They’ll release us from our pen,
Also known as N.H.S.
Though it’s good enough, I guess,
We get homework in excess
Where we’ve been
Ain’t it good?
Ain’t it good?
Ain’t it good to see the sun again?

When AP took over my life,
And I sold my soul to Ms. Madden,
There were times I’d truly wonder
If I’d have a life again (Wondered if I’d ever have…)

But (there’s) no year can last forever,
Though we feel so helpless now (oooo-oo!)

Soon we’ll all turn on our fans,
Have our tans and water bans,
Sounds like some good summer plans
For twenty-ten!
Ain’t it good (It will be good)
When smoke is clearing,
We can say summer’s begun,
And our hopes are reappearing,
Since all our struggles are almost done,
Should we, now, believe what we’re hearing?
We never thought we’d get a real vacation!

When it’s hard to concentrate,
It’s more difficult to wait,
And we all anticipate it,
Greater time!

Brother, ain’t it good, oh ain’t it good?
Ain’t it good to see the sun again, my Lord?

After all the days we stood,
Smelling dust and moldy books

Ain’t it good to see the sun again?
Oh, ain’t it good to see the shining summer sun again?
