You're not going in without a ticket.

- We're not here for the show.|- We have a situation.

I'm Rosalie Mullins.|I'm principal of Horace Green.

We had a field trip that went awry.

Some lunatic kidnapped our kids.|Our kids are in there.

You're breaking my heart.|There's the ticket table.

- Maybe we should just get tickets.|- Let's get tickets!

- Excuse me.|- My child's up there.

Excuse me, please,|our kids are in here.

Excuse me, please.|Excuse me.

- Excuse me.|- Hey, stop it.

Hey. What's up?

Come on!

We're the School of Rock.

And this song was written|by our own Zack Mooneyham.

Baby, we was making straight A's

But we were stuck in a dumb daze

Don't take much|To memorize your lies

I feeI like I've been hypnoticized

And then that magic man|He come to town

He done spun my head around

He said, "Recess is in session|Two and two make five"

And now, baby, oh, I'm alive

Oh, yeah|I am alive

And ifyou wanna be|The teacher's pet

Well, baby, youjust better forget it

Rock got no reason|Rock got no rhyme

You better get me|To schooI on time

Oh, yeah

Yeah

Oh, you know I was on the honor roll

Got good grades|Ain't got no souI

Raise my hand before|I can speak my mind

I've been biting my tongue|Too many times

And then that magic man|Took you away

Do what magic man do

- Not what magic man say|- Say what?

Now, can I please have|the attention of the class?

Today's assignment:

Kick some ass!

And ifyou wanna be|The teacher's pet

Well, baby, youjust better forget it

Rock got no reason|Rock got no rhyme

You better get me|To schooI on time

And ifyou wanna be|The teacher's pet

Well, baby, youjust better forget it

Rock got no reason|Rock got no rhyme

You better get me|To schooI on time

Oh, yeah
