Revoking your tenure, it's time to say goodbye
Revoking your tenure, it's time to bid farewell
Revoking your tenure, no longer can you stay
Revoking your tenure, your time has come to an end
For years you've roamed these halls
As a teacher, you stood tall
But now the time has come
For your tenure to fall
Your lessons were once filled with grace
Your students hung on every word you'd say
But as the years went by
Your spark began to fade away
Revoking your tenure, it's not an easy task
Revoking your tenure, it breaks our hearts in two
But the education of our children
Is something we must pursue
Your students' grades began to slip
Your lesson plans were out of date
The passion you once had
Has now gone and met its fate
We tried to give you guidance
We tried to give you time
But you refused to adapt
And now we must draw the line
Revoking your tenure, it's not about pride
Revoking your tenure, it's about what's right
For the sake of our students
We can no longer let you hold tight
The years of service you have given
Will not be forgotten, that we swear
But now it's time for someone new
To bring in a breath of fresh air
Our school will move on
With or without you
But as we say goodbye
We'll cherish the good times too
Revoking your tenure, it's a bittersweet end
Revoking your tenure, it's a chapter closed
But new opportunities will come
For both you and our students, we suppose
So with heavy hearts
We revoke your tenure today
But we wish you all the best
As you continue on your way
Revoking your tenure, it's not a punishment
Revoking your tenure, it's a lesson learned
For every beginning
There must be an end to be earned
So as you pack your things
And walk out that door
Remember the good times
And the memories we all bore
Revoking your tenure, it's time to move on
Revoking your tenure, it's time to start anew
Revoking your tenure, we'll always remember
The teacher who once inspired me and you.
