Intro:
       

                                              
Get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game 
                                                   
Come to the front of the class and we'll measure your brain 
                                   
We'll give you a complex and we'll give it a name 
                                             
Get out your measuring cups and we'll play a new game 
                                                       
Can't have the cream when the crop and the cream are the same 
                               
Liquid or gas no more than the glass will contain 
                        
When you talk about the hand of glory 
                     
A tale that's rather grim and gory 
                                           
Is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed? 
                                              
When the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed 

                                   
I think they're gonna make you start over 
                       
You don't want to start over 
                          
Put your backpack on your shoulder 
                     
Be the good little soldier 
            
Take your places now 
                             
'Cause we're all predisposed 

                         
Measuring cups, play a new game 
                               
Front of the class, measure your brain 
                                 
Give you a complex and we'll give it a name 
                        
When you talk about the hand of glory 
                     
A tale that's rather grim and gory 
                                          
Is it just another children's story that's been de-clawed? 
                                              
When the tales of brothers Grimm and Gorey have been outlawed 

                                  
Put your backpack on your shoulder 
                   
Be the good little soldier 
                  
It's no different when your older 
        
You're predisposed 
                        
That's all for questions now 
               
The case is closed!
