• She actually said it,
    She said it in class.
    It sounded so nasty,
    It sounded so crass.

    The children stared,
    The teacher scowled,
    The custodian cried,
    The principal howled.

    Then poor little Patti,
    My very best friend,
    She opened her mouth
    And said it again.

    "Bad words, bad words!"
    We all began to chant,
    "Never! Never! Never!
    Never say the words... I CAN'T."
