've always lived in Dinkerville,
My friends all live here too.
We go to Diffendoofer School--
We're happy that we do.


ur school is at the corner
Of Dinkzoober and Dinkzott.
It looks like any other school,
But we suspect it's not.
I think we're learning lots of things
Not taught at other schools.
Our teachers are remarkable,
They make up their own rules.
