Wastin’ away again in Tech Teacher’s paradise,
Been at BOCES for twenty-five years,
Helping teachers and students, it feels so nice,
With every lesson, I spread my cheer.

Got my drones soaring high, in the soccer game,
Watching kids learn, oh what a sight,
They’re having fun, and it’s all the same,
Teaching tech skills, shining bright.

Chorus:
Wastin’ away again in Tech Teacher’s paradise,
Retiring at the beach, oh what a dream,
In just three years, I’ll roll the dice,
With my family, we’ll savor the scene.

I’m married with two kids, they’ve grown so tall,
They’ve made me proud in every way,
Now I share my love for tech with them all,
In the classroom, I’m here to stay.

Got my heart in the lessons, my passion is clear,
Empowering others, it’s what I do best,
With every workshop, I spread the cheer,
In this tech world, I feel so blessed.

Chorus:
Wastin’ away again in Tech Teacher’s paradise,
Retiring at the beach, oh what a dream,
In just three years, I’ll roll the dice,
With my family, we’ll savor the scene.

So here’s to the future and all that it brings,
With memories cherished, I’ll hold them tight,
In my heart, the joy of teaching sings,
As I look to the beach, my future’s bright.

(Chorus) 'Cause Heather, expect me I'm a mom with energy Heather, just watch me Lab dog and golden retriever by my side Summers at Keuka Lake, where memories reside Oh, Heather

(Verse 2) Dreaming of winters down south when I retire Balancing family and work with passionate fire My life's an adventure, each moment so true A wife and an educator, through and through

(Chorus) 'Cause Heather, expect me I'm a mom with energy Heather, just watch me Lab dog and golden retriever by my side Summers at Keuka Lake, where memories reside Oh, Heather

(Bridge) From classroom to lakeside, my heart's always full My children are growing, achieving their call Nursing and engineering, they're making their way And I'm cheering them onward every single day

(Final Chorus) 'Cause Heather, expect me I'm a mom with energy Heather, just watch me Lab dog and golden retriever by my side Summers at Keuka Lake, where memories reside Oh, Heather

I stay on a farm, got my life in control (Oh-oh) Two kids running 'round, hand foot and mouth's our toll (Oh-oh)

Five new pigs just arrived, making noise so loud My best friend Cady's here, we're totally proud (Oh-oh)

'Cause the farmers gonna farm, farm, farm, farm, farm And the campers gonna camp, camp, camp, camp, camp Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Shake it off, shake it off!

Halloween's coming soon, Scooby Doo's the plan Cady and Joe dressed up, they're the coolest clan (Oh-oh)

Tractors rolling, piglets squealing, country life is sweet My farm adventures are totally neat (Oh-oh)

'Cause the farmers gonna farm, farm, farm, farm, farm And the campers gonna camp, camp, camp, camp, camp Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Shake it off, shake it off!

Country living, no stress, just pure delight Julie Gerber's world is shining so bright (Oh-oh)

'Cause the farmers gonna farm, farm, farm, farm, farm And the campers gonna camp, camp, camp, camp, camp Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake Shake it off, shake it off!

(To the tune of "The Boys Are Back in Town" by Thin Lizzy)

Spread out the summer blanket, down by Keuka's shore My three sons are together, can't ask for anything more Ethan's twenty-four and David's twenty-three Jacob's twenty, they're all here with me

Chorus: The boys are home from Buffalo U (The boys are home from Buffalo U) Such clever sons, their dreams come true (Such clever sons, their dreams come true)

Mechanical Engineers, Ethan and David stand Jacob's learning finances, with a future so grand From Addison, New York, our little hometown pride Their love and care just fill me with joy inside

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge: Keuka Lake's our summer place Where memories we embrace Engineering minds so bright Financial skills taking flight

(Final Chorus) The boys are home from Buffalo U (The boys are home from Buffalo U) A mother's love, forever true (A mother's love, forever true)
