(sung to the tune of "Rawhide")

Testin', Testin', Testin' . . .

While the teacher's restin'. . .

Students do their best in . . .

Benchmarks!

Science, Math, and Reading

A break from testing you'll be needing

On Grammar Giggles you should embark.

After today's benchmark there'll be one

Left to do and then you'll be done.

I bet you see benchmarks in the dark!

chorus

Mark 'em up! Bubble in!

Bubble in! Mark 'em up!

Mark 'em up! Bubble in!

Benchmarks!

Fill 'em out! Do your best!

Do your best! Fill 'em out!

Fill 'em out! Do your best!

Benchmarks!

Keep writin', writin', writin' . . .

Though your nerves are tightenin' . . .

Keep those students frightened!

Benchmarks!

Don't try to get out of it.

Take tests because you love it!

During testing don't make any remarks.

I don't want you to feel blue . . .

Morning Math is here, too

Waitin' at the end of benchmarks.

BENCHMARKS!
