To whom it may concern we pray
That we'll get out of here some day
O thou, our awesome chaperone
Who can't leave well enough alone
Give us a break, we beg of thee
Or better yet, just let us be
If thou canst hear us, that's just swell
Sometimes it's really hard to tell
Perhaps we'll never see thy face
But we'll keep praying just in case
Until the day we say goodbye
Released at last from high
