TTTO Tradition, Tradition, with apologies to Fiddler on the Roof

With so many tuition threads, I figured we could use some comic relief!

Tuition, tuition! Tuition!

Who, day and night, must scramble for a living,
Pay the endless bills, cut many corners,
Who must figure out how to extract
So much money from a stone?

The PARENTS, the PARENTS! TUITION!
The PARENTS, the PARENTS! TUITION!

Who must figure out how to make payroll,
Fundraise, negotiate
Who must balance the school budget
Every day of every month?

The HANHALA! The Hanhala...TUITION!
The HANHALA! The Hanhala...TUITION!

At 25 I made it big, my wife wears jewels each day
I’m 50 now and make the rules for who should pay.

The BOARD, the BOARD! Bum, bum, TUITION!
The BOARD, the BOARD! Bum, bum, TUITION!

And who shows up to teach,
Regardless of pay day,
Struggling to cover expenses
And still manage to stay?

The TEACHERS! The TEACHERS! TUITION!
The TEACHERS! The TEACHERS! TUITION!

Hashem bentched me with overflow
And I want to help where I can,
So many needs, oy Klal Yisroel,
How can I help everyone?

The DONORS! The DONORS…TUITION!
The DONORS! The DONORS…TUITION!

I like my Ferragamo shoes
And Moose Knuckles sweatshirt
They say it’s not so tzniusdig
But everyone has them!

The STUDENTS! The students…TUITION!
The STUDENTS! The students…TUITION!

And Who has all the money in the world
And is in control of all?
Who is in charge of our parnasa and
Decides what the year will bring?

HASHEM, HASHEM!...TUITION!
HASHEM, HASHEM!...TUITION!
