Lyrics
Miss Sassafras
Where's dad?
He's hiding in his cave
It could be his grave
but that's OK with me
cuz my NetFlix came today
fire up the anime
on the H D L C D
Where's mom?
She's still not home from work
she thinks she's Captain Kirk
but that's OK with me
cuz my boyfriend is a jerk
he wears a perma-smirk
and says he looks like me
And where is my head?
Don't ask us that Miss Sassafras
And where is my head?
We don't give a rat's Miss Sassafras
And where is my head?
Aristocrats in pork-pie hats
And where is my head?
Miss Sassafras, head of the class
Head of the class with laughing gas
Head of the class with laughing gas
Head of the class with laughing gas
Where am I?
I'm holed up in my room
full of gloom and doom
but that's OK with me
I'm dressed up like a tomb
I'm just about to bloom
Just you wait and see
Where are we?
We're at the bitter end
No more time to spend
but that's OK with me
cuz we can still pretend
that we can comprehend
reality TV
And where is my head?
Don't ask us that Miss Sassafras
And where is my head?
We don't give a rat's Miss Sassafras
And where is my head?
Aristocrats in pork-pie hats
And where is my head?
Miss Sassafras, head of the class
Head of the class with laughing gas
Head of the class with laughing gas
Head of the class with laughing gas
