Who remembers Kathy Barra?
The girl we all thought resembled a rat
In a classroom (it happened)
In hot September
We gave her the name she would never forget

On that dreadful day, your life forever changed
When your friends heard your name
It sounded the same as a huge rodent
That's when they pushed you away

I can't remember which of us started
But every last one of us followed the lead
She looked so frightened
Gripping her chair leg
While she got so picked on I thought she would bleed

All day long they sang a capybara song
("You're a CAPYBARA")
Though you knew it was wrong
You finally played along as a huge rodent
You just wanted to belong

You're gonna be all right, Kathy Barra
You're gonna be okay
You'll get some sleep tonight
The dreams that plague you, Kathy, are gonna go away

You don't have to get down on the ground
And pretend to be a rodent now
You tried hard to please by getting down on your knees
But you'll never do it again, after all you've seen

You're gonna be all right, Kathy Barra
You're gonna be okay
You'll get some sleep tonight
The dreams that plague you, Kathy, are gonna go away
