My Thoughts On Ranger's Apprentice

Dust it Off

Ok, this is just a little parody of "Shake if Off" by Taylor Swift. My brother and I wrote this over the summer and I think it's pretty funny. BTW Will is an apprentice when this "song takes place".

Will pounding rug in background

Halt: I wake up one morning
And then I start coughing
I think what could that be-e-e? Mm-m
What could that be-e-e? Mm-m
I inspect the kitchen floor
I look around some more
The bookshelf is so dusty mm-m
The bookshelf is so dusty mm-m

So I get right to-o it
Open up my cabinet
Grab the swiffer duster
Walk to Will and I hold it out in front of him.

So Will gets his lazy butt off of the couch
And he grabs the duster right out of my hand
And he walks quickly to the bookshelf
And he dusts it off, he dusts it off- oooh!

If I see he does a mediocre job
And the bookshelf is still all covered with dust
I will make him do it all over again
So he dusts it off, he dusts it off- again!

After he is done
We have to eat for one
So I make him make breakfast mm-m
I make him make breakfast mm-m

I get the coffee out
Will's trying not to pout
He spills some on the table mm-m
He spills some on the table mm-m

So I get right to-o it
Open up my cabinet
Grab a fluffy towel
Walk to Will and I hold it out in front of him

So Will gets his lazy butt out of the chair
And he grabs the towel right out of my hand
He prepares it for the spill in front of him
So he wipes it off, he wipes it off oooh!

If I see he does a mediocre job
And the coffee spill is very visible
I will make him do it all over again
So he wipes it off, he wipes it off- again!

Hey hey hey!
Just think while you've been getting down and out about all those lazy apprentices of the world you could have been getting down to Will's sick beat!

Will beats the rug louder, for he has a solo coming up and his adrenaline is rushing

Will: I beat rugs every day for Halt
I'm like "Oh my God" but I love to work
(he makes a weird face)
And to the best mentor ever I will work for you forever
Wait- who wrote this?! Halt? Halt...HALT?!

Halt: NO-OH OHOHOOOOOO OH OH!

Will (overlapping): So Halt makes me do the housework everyday
It is child labor, he will have to pay

Halt: Where's this mumbo-jumbo even coming from?

Will: Halt just stop, please just stop

Halt: No-oh!

Will: I would rather sit alone in my bedroom
And write mandola music called Greybeard Halt

Halt: I would make you spend the night in a tall tree

Will: You're not my boss, you're not my boss!

Halt: YES I AM!!!!!

Will plugs his ears and Halt begins chasing him around outside the cabin, yelling out meaningless insults

Will: I can't hear you, I can't hear you
I, I, I can't hear you, I can't hear you
I, I, I can't hear you, I can't hear you
I, I, I can't hear you, I can't hear you
I, I, I can't hear you, I can't hear you
I, I, I can't hear you, I can't hear you
I, I, I can't hear you, I can't hear you
I, I, I can't hear you, I can't hear you

Halt: Go to your room......
