This song, sung to that spirited song from the bayou, Jambalaya, offers teachers a chance to pour out their hearts in praise of summer and, at the same time, to lament its passing.
Cant believe that were back, me oh my oh.
Weve been off to Pa-ree and Ohio.
Got some rest, feel less stress, you and I-o.
Now its back teaching math, French, and bio.

Chorus:
Son of a gun, Summers fun, me oh my oh.
Eating corn, eating blueberry pie oh.
Take a deep breath and let out a sigh oh.
Summers leaving us soon, say goodbye-o.
Well, the ease of the summertime frees me
To travel and do things that please me.
Well, it may not be terribly PC
To admit coming back is not easy.
Chorus:
Son of a gun, Summers fun, me oh my oh.
Eating corn, eating blueberry pie oh.
Take a deep breath and let out a sigh oh.
Summers leaving us soon, say goodbye-o.
Far away from the lads and the lasses
At the beach sporting stylish sunglasses.
Oh, the weeks vanish as summer passes.
Im not ready to teach all my classes!
Chorus:
Son of a gun, Summers fun, me oh my oh.
Eating corn, eating blueberry pie oh.
Take a deep breath and let out a sigh oh.
Summers leaving us soon, say goodbye-o.
Once theyre back, kids have no concentration
For the work, all that new information.
We should just have a big celebration,
And start planning our next long vacation.
