Peter the Cheater Cheetah

One day at school
He started to drool
Today was the test
He wasn't the best
He was a fool
He thought he was cool
He cheated and guessed
Then copied the rest
Copied the rest

Peter the cheater cheetah
Kicked a girl her name was Rita
He crashed a viejita
Walking with her perrita

Peter had a bad dream
He hit someone on his team
He stole some ice cream
He was very mean
The dream made him sad
He ran and told his dad
He wasn't glad
He was very mad
Peter dreamed twice
He dreamed he was nice
He gave some mice all of his rice

Peter the cheater cheetah
Kicked a girl her name was Rita
He crashed a viejita
Walking with her perrita

He changed one day
Then he began to pray
He was so excellent
He became president
The world was in a war
He wanted to help the poor
He came up with Plan A
Called operation Santa's Sleigh
He bought a toy store
Then he bought some more
He gave toys to boys and girls
All around the world

Peter the cheater cheetah
Kissed a girl her name was Rita
He helped a viejita
Walking with her perrita
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


2000: I helped an after school class write the lyrics for this song. Since then it has become a classroom favorite. At the end we add names instead of the la, la, la, la, la part. So we sing Carla-la-la-la, or jessica-ca-ca-ca. It's fun. One year some girls made a dance to it, so the whole class performed with The Edukators in the end of year talent show.
