What do you do when your hair's had a party and there is no proper copper coffee pot to ease your morning blues?
I spent the majority of the morning writing lesson plans and researching songs and finger plays to use at work. During this time I found some wonderful gems on Rhapsody. My favorites were by a band entitled Trout Fishing In America. My hair had a party last night,
It must have got into a terrible fight,
Cause when my head hit the pillow it was looking all right,
My hair had a party last night.
My hair had a party last night,
When I lay down everything was all right,
It started out friendly but there must have been a fight,
My hair had a party last night.
Early in the morning, I get out of my bed,
The birdies are singing outside.
There's waffles on the table and a cold glass of milk,
I got a warm, happy feeling inside.
I can't wait to go to school and I love myself,
I'm the captain of the football team.
The alarm goes off and I hear mom yelling,
And I realize it must have been a dream.
My hair had a party last night,
It must have got into a terrible fight,
Cause when my head hit the pillow it was looking alright,
My hair had a party last night.
My hair had a party last night,
When I lay down everything was all right,
It started out friendly but there must have been a fight,
My hair had a party last night.
I pick up a brush, pick up a comb,
I look at the scissors but I leave them alone.
There's a lizard that lives in the rocks by the sea,
This morning that lizard looks a lot like me.
I try to wet it down but it only makes it worse,
The cowlick in the back is a family curse.
I pick up a cap and I put it on my head,
And wish I was dreaming back in my warm bed.
All I want is a proper cup of coffee.
Made in a proper copper coffee pot.
I may be off my dot but
I want a proper coffee in a proper copper pot.
Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots,
They are no use to me.
If I can't have a proper cup of coffee
In a proper copper coffee pot,
I'll have a cup of tea!

i can't even spell that last one
First, that one sounds like a country song, so on principle I can't like it.
Second, (and you may not be as excited as we were), but today in year 10 chemistry (I observed it once a week because I have nothing better to do with my time) they were going to amalgamate a penny with zinc, and then make a brass alloy by passing it through a flame. Well, all went well until one started melting! Ummm, copper shouldn't melt at bunsen burner temperatures. At first we thought we had a fake coin, but honestly, what idiot would waste time on forging a 1-cent coin? And then other kids started trying to make theirs melt, and sure enough--they all did! So apparently we don't make our pennies out of copper anymore, but rather lead and aluminum! Who knew?!? (probably dad did) Certainly not the British chemistry teacher!
So yeah, copper coffee pots. Cool.
They're not country songs! They're children's songs! Everyone HAS to like children's songs. It's a rule.
