I'm currently working with a gentleman who is developmentally disabled. One of his more interesting attributes is that he'll hear a song and only remember part of it, but he'll obsess over that song until he finds it to play on his walkman. He is currently wanting a song that he says he heard on Sesame Street and all he knows are a few lyrics:

Doesn't like to be in school
Doesn't like to be in school
Can you tell me about it?
Can I laugh?
Can I play?
Is it inside or outside?

He says he heard it a long time ago but I don't know exactly how long. I would be extremely grateful if anyone could guide me on the way to find it. I've Googled everything I can think of with no luck. THANK YOU :sympathy:

What's it like to be in school?

Yes, that sounds like "What's it like to be in School?" You can find the lyrics at the site above, or you can visit the Sesame St. lyrics archive at:

http://www.tinyd.net/school2.html

It is an older film. During the film, the song is sung twice: Once when the kids are getting on a bus to go to school, then later at the end when they're getting off the bus to go home. In between, we see the kids in a typical school day. I don't have this, but I'm hoping somebody out there has an mp3 file they'd be willing to share. :wink:

Thanks, you two. "what's it like to be in school" is definitely the song. That's helped alot. If anyone has access to any kind of recording(audio or video)it would be great. Thanks again:big_grin:

How is he developmentally disabled? My 10-year-old daughter is autistic and she's always been obsessed with the Muppets. These days, she loves to watch "Monster Hits!" on DVD, and "Sing Yourself Silly!" on VHS.

he has Asperger's, a condition in the same camp as Autism. As well as MR and a few other disorders. He's really a great guy:smile:
