Motivate Them

Motivate Them is a song sung by Lisa in the episode Yokel Chords. It is a parody of the title song from the musical The Sound of Music, while Lisa's performance of it is more of a parody of Julie Andrews' version of it from the movie. The music was written by Alf Clausen and the lyrics by Michael Price. It is part of the thirty-seventh track on the album The Simpsons: Testify.

Lyrics

 * Lisa:
 * You asked to see me?


 * Seymour Skinner:
 * Lisa, would you consider tutoring Cletus's children?


 * Superintendent Chalmers:
 * You'll be happy, they'll be happy, and I can go home and enjoy some delicious fondue.


 * Seymour Skinner:
 * Made with...fondue set I bought you for Christmas?


 * Superintendent Chalmers:
 * No. So what do you say, Lisa?


 * Lisa:
 * Me? A tutor.


 * The hillbilly tykes
 * Will become my tutees.
 * (slips and falls)


 * Cletus:
 * Hey, kids, the plow mule done burst a girl critter!
