lyrics

Rowdy Rita, Rowdy Rita’s late again
Her time is almost gone
Minutes fly by, clouds roll on, I see the end
Of a day kept from the sun

Rowdy Rita, Rowdy Rita’s on the trail
She’s famed as the rambling queen
In the classroom, someone asks, to no avail
“Can we leave if it hits two fifteen?”

Rita's rambling on
Eating her shrimp cocktails out in the sun
Tried to reach her, but if teacher doesn’t show
It is safe to say our day is done

Like the north wind, Rita storms in, books in hand
She’s got a lesson in mind
We see our shot, “Say, teach, a thought: We don’t understand
How’d you end up so behind?”

Rowdy Rita, Rowdy Rita, can’t resist
Spinning a wondrous thread
Bus cuisine, the sights she’s seen, we get the gist
But she’s rambling full steam ahead

Rita's rambling on
The hands of the clock show the day is near gone
Then the bell rings, packing our things, we give thanks
For ol’ Rita, the best substitute

Ol’ Rita, the best substitute

I love this album so much. So many perfect songs to fit all of the jaw dropping moments from this arc. Especially the diary of sheriff isaak. What a banger. fishfeets
