No Child Left Untested

Description
A political song I wrote some time ago about the No Child Left Behind Act that has had many bad unintended consequences in the US. President was kind enough to give it an intro.

Lyrics
No Child Left Untested
(No Child Left Behind)
No child left untested
No brain cell left unrested
I’m just the child left behind
Hey Sarah did you hear that we aren’t going to have any tests today?
Oh, really,t we have tests everyday.
Maybe we’re going to learn something like in the old days.
I wouldn’t go that far.
Remember we don’t want to be...
THE CHILD LEFT BEHIND!
No child left untested
No brain cell left unrested
Well it finally happened we went a whole day without a test.
I’m sure that’s never going to happen again.
Remember we don’t want to be...
THE CHILD LEFT BEHIND!
No child left untested
No brain cell left unrested!

Very cool
Not familiar with the act, but it's a very good song and I enjoyed it....

just the beginning
Why stop there? How about - no protester left unarrested ... no banker left uninvested ... no rathole left infested : >

I'm just joking - you needn't add more to what's here, because what's here works fine as a social-politico satire. The speaking parts (the presidential intro; the "Hey Sarah" questions) add a neat conterpart to the singing.

The soundtrack is delightful - filled with movement, texture and variation. It doesn't test one's attention span!

How dare you (crack me up)?
And: how dare you suggest that we set aside money for education when there are children all around the world we have to protect (as we try and improve our aim).
