Teacher's Pet Page #5

Synopsis: Leonard is a 4th grader; his mother, Mrs. Mary Lou Helperman, is his teacher, and has been nominated for a teaching award. They plan a trip to Florida for the finals, but need to leave their dog, Spot, behind. Unknown to Mrs. Helperman, Spot has been masquerading as a boy, Scott, who is her star pupil. Spot wants nothing more than to be a real boy, and sees a way to this when mad scientist Ivan Krank appears on the Barry Anger show. Krank thinks he can turn animals into humans. Conveniently, his lab is right down the street from where the Helpermans are staying, so Spot, as Scott (and the rest of his family) convinces Mary Lou to take him along. Spot becomes a man, but discovers it's not everything he ever dreamed of after all.

Let's hit the road

and sing a song about it!

What is it with

this family and singing?

I'm starting to feel

von trapped.

There's a whole bunch of world

in our backyard

An awful lot

of world to see

Alabama, Alaska,

Arizona, Arkansas

a lot of trout and potato

Right smack in the middle,

There's Kansas and Kentucky,

and way down south

Louisiana is shaped

like a shoe

And still a lot

of states to do, whew!

Eight states start with "M",

Maine, Maryland,

and Massachoooo-setts

Mich, Minneso,

Mississipp, Show me mo

Montana, now we're more

than halfway through

Nebraska, Nevada,

and the "News"

Mexico, and York

Now the "Norths",

Carolina and Dakota

Where Sacajawea

guided Lewis and Clark

Ohio, Oklahoma, and Oregon

Pennsylvania, where they

wrote the Constitution

Little Rhode Island

and South Carolina

Where the rebels tried

to start a revolution

South Dakota, Tennessee,

and next to Mexico

Texas, where they have

a lot of cows

Utah, green Vermont,

and old Virginny

Where George Washington

took his first bow, wow!

We're all the way

to "W" now

Washington,

West Virginia and Wisconsin

I don't know how much higher

I can sing

But that's OK

'cause we've gone all the way

From Alabama to Wyoming

From Alabama

to Wyomi-i-i-ing

Hey!

Gee, I was sure the map

said sunny Florida...

was around here somewhere.
