Summary: The other teachers discuss Ms. Frizzle's fate as a teacher, in song!
Disclaimer: I don't own this, but I use to watch it when I was little and I'm kind of re-visiting my childhood. I don't own the song either, it comes from Sound of Music and I just changed some of the words.
A/N: This is my first Magic School Bus fanfic, so I decided to just write a songfic because I'm afraid to try to make up a plot at this point. Hope ya'll like it.
{Scene: Four teachers and the Principal are in the teacher's lounge discussing Ms. Frizzle while she's on a field trip with her class}
Teacher One
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee
Her dress, I'd never wear.
Teacher Two
She waltzes on her way to class and whistles on the stair.
Teacher Three
Do we really have to mention her extremely frizzy hair?
Teacher Four
I've even heard her singing in the classroom.
Teacher One
She's always late for meetings
Teacher Two
But her enthusiasm's real
Teacher One
She's always late for everything.
Teacher Three
Except for every meal.
Teacher Four
I hate to have to say it, but I very firmly feel
All Teachers
Ms. Frizzle's not an asset to the classroom.
Teacher Three
I'd like to say a word in her behalf:
Ms. Frizzle makes me laugh!
{Teachers laugh until Principal looks up and stops them. He looks as though he has been considering everything they're saying and is trying to make a decision}
Principal
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Ms. Frizzle?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
Teacher Two
How do you find a word that means Ms. Frizzle?
Teacher Four
A Flibbity Jibbit
Teacher Three
A Willow Va Wiz
Teacher One
A Clown
Principal
Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her
Many a thing she ought to understand.
Teacher Four
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say?
Teacher Two
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
All Teachers
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Ms. Frizzle?
Principal
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
Teacher Three
When I'm with her, I'm confused, out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am.
Teacher Four
Unpredictable as weather, she's as flighty as a feather.
Teacher Two
She's a darling
Teacher One
She's a demon
Teacher Two
She's a lamb
Teacher Three
She can pester any pest, drive a hornet from its nest.
Teacher Four
She can throw a whirling dirvish out of whirl.
Teacher Three
She is gentle, she is wild
Teacher Four
She's a riddle, she's a child
Teacher One
She's a headache
Teacher Two
She's an angel.
Principal
She's a girl.
All
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Ms. Frizzle?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?

How do you find a word that means Ms. Frizzle?
Teacher Four

Teacher Three

All
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Ms. Frizzle?
Principal

{The teachers and principal, still at a loss for what to do, sit back down and decide to just let it go until a later date}
