The Hawk in the Schoolyard
Hank Williams

Verse 1:
Well, there's a principal they call Lisa, yeah, she's known as the Hawk
She struts through them hallways, but she can't even talk the talk
She'll tell ya one thing, and then she'll change her mind
You'd swear she's got no clue, she's one of a kind

Chorus:
Oh, the Hawk in the schoolyard, can't make a decision
Spreads tales and fibs, like they're a new religion
But fried chicken's her favorite, she'll eat it day and night
Oh, the Hawk in the schoolyard, just ain't doin' it right

Verse 2:
She calls for a meeting, but can't say what's on her mind
Leaves us all confused, oh we're in a bind
She promises the moon and brings us back some dirt
With her head in the clouds, she's bound to get us hurt

Chorus:
Oh, the Hawk in the schoolyard, can't make a decision
Spreads tales and fibs, like they're a new religion
But fried chicken's her favorite, she'll eat it day and night
Oh, the Hawk in the schoolyard, just ain't doin' it right

Bridge:
Every day at noon, she's got a bucket in hand
Colonel Sanders is her hero, don't you understand?
When she's chompin' on that chicken, she's forgettin' all the rules
It's a wonder she ain't kicked outta this here school

Chorus:
Oh, the Hawk in the schoolyard, can't make a decision
Spreads tales and fibs, like they're a new religion
But fried chicken's her favorite, she'll eat it day and night
Oh, the Hawk in the schoolyard, just ain't doin' it right

Outro:
So here's to Principal Lisa, the Hawk with no clue
We're stuck in the crossfire, don't know what to do
But we'll laugh and we'll sing, and we'll make it through somehow
With the Hawk in the schoolyard, guess it's up to us now
