“Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school,we have tortured every teacher,we have broken every rule,We even told the principal that he’s a big fat fool,as we go marching on!
But despite being nearly 50 years ago, the teachers did not like that song, and hushed kids who sang it.
During the pledge of allegiance, some kids were heard to recite an alternate version:I pledge allegiance to the city of Los Angeles,and to the smog under which it stands.One city, under smog, with teardrops and coughdrops for all.

I often wondered: Why there were two versions of that song?Was the second one a parody?

How quickly that era was forgotten. I still have records around with that song.

At my school, they used to sing:
