- The_Burning_of_the_School abstract "\"The Burning of the School\" (not an official title) is a parody of \"The Battle Hymn of the Republic\", known and sung by schoolchildren throughout the United States and in some locations in the United Kingdom and Canada.Like the Battle Hymn itself, the parody is sung to the tune of \"John Brown's Body\". In versions known to have appeared in print, the opening line always changes the original 'Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord' to 'Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school.' Also, the first line of the refrain, 'Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!', seems always to be followed in the parody by the line 'Teacher hit me with a ruler.' (A few versions have been collected that change 'Hallelujah' to 'What's it to ya?', but most leave the first line intact.)The rest of the lyrics vary with time and place, but generally involve the children inflicting various types of mayhem on the school and its staff.In their 1959 book The Lore and Language of Schoolchildren, the British folklorists Peter and Iona Opie recorded that 'Glory, glory hallelujah/Teacher hit me with a ruler' was frequently sung by children in Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. An eleven-year-old girl whom the Opies quoted on the subject identified the song as a parody of John Brown's Body. The Opies did not record whether the Market Rasen song had additional lyrics.The American indie band Death Cab for Cutie have been known to perform \"The Burning of the School\" at their concerts.Tom Glazer and the Do-Re-Mi Children's Chorus recorded a version of this song under the title of \"Battle Hymn of the Children\". It was released as the B-side of their 1963 hit, \"On Top of Spaghetti\".".
