How to Turn Your Teacher Purple!
Heebie Geebie, Hurple Burple
Time To Turn My Teacher. . . PURPLE!
Simply chant this magic spell
soon your teacher looks unwell:
purple cheeks and purple nose
purpleness from head to toes
Feed her beetroot every hour
see her fill with purple power
bloomin’ like a purple flower
how she’ll scream
when in the shower!!!
