"Call Me Maybe" lyrics re-written by incredible teachers and counselors at Kelvyn Park High School in Chicago. We stand for quality teaching and learning everywhere!

We threw a wish in a well
Just ask us and we will tell
We looked to you as we fell
And now Rahm's in our way

We are on strike for our kids
And decent schools is our wish
We weren't looking for this
But now Rahm's in our way

Our system's broken
But support is growing
Hard lines we are holding
Dedication we are showing!

Hey we love students
We know that's crazy
Need smaller classes
And AC, maybe?

And all the charter schools
Try to chase us
But we love KP
We're staying, baby!

Hey we love students
We know that's crazy
Need smaller classes
And AC, maybe?

And all the tests they take
Make kids crazy
So give them art class
And music, maybe?

You took your time in the Fall
Your efforts were really small
Now there's no contract at all
And Rahm's still in our way!

We begged and bargained for real
Now Rahm is trying steal
Our students and our appeal
To the community

Our system's broken
But support is growing
Hard lines we are holding
Dedication we are showing!

Hey we love students
We know that's crazy
Need smaller classes
And AC, maybe?

It's hard to learn right
When their world's crazy
More social workers
And counselors, maybe?

Hey we love students
We know that's crazy
Need smaller classes
And AC, maybe?

And all the families
Are honking in the streets
So here's our request
Support us, maybe?

Rahm, you came into our schools
And now it's so bad
And now it's so bad
Now it's so, so bad

Rahm, you came into our schools
And now it's so bad
And you should know that
We're taking our schools back

It's hard to stand up
Against your money
But your media cronies
Won't break us, honey!

Hey we love students
Even when their crazy
Need smaller classes
And AC, maybe?

And all the charter schools
Try to chase us
But we love KP
We're staying, baby!

Rahm, you came into our schools
And now it's so bad
And now it's so bad
Now it's so, so bad

Rahm, you came into our schools
And now it's so bad
And you should know that
We're taking our schools back
