O Parents! and Teachers! We're all in caps and gowns

The weight of stress has been lifted, relieved of a million pounds

Summer's here, the time is near, everyone is smiling

With so much more ahead of us, the possibilities everlasting

But O fright! fright! fright!

The idea of a far away place

So much newfound freedom

And not one familiar face

O Parents! and Teachers! we'll all throw up our caps

We'll talk about the places we'll go and show them on the maps

We won't forget people we're leaving 

Though we may have no plans of returning

Here parents! dear parents!

We'll leave without a trace

Though we can't ignore the home

We've learned to love and embrace

Our Parents are still worried, so much responsibility

Without someone to push us, failing is a possibility

They'll be proud of our progress when they see how far we've come

As finally the life of a new adult has begun

Rejoice and be cheerful, for a brand new beginning!

Nothing can replace

The people that got us here,

To this new and exciting place
