The Zombie Crossing Guard of North Mulberry Street
Most children don’t and won’t cross this uncool school street
Because of who they don’t and won’t want to meet
She’s creepy and cruddy from her head to her feet
She’s the Zombie Crossing Guard of North Mulberry Street
So the children walked farther away to a farther street
So they do not have to see or flee or happen to meet
The Zombie Crossing Guard of North Mulberry Street
But one kind kid whose name was Pete
Was not at all afraid from his head to his feet
As quick as a flick Pete walked to North Mulberry Street
With his backpack and knapsack all proper and neat
Pete said, “I’d like to have help with crossing this street”
“I want to cross safely this North Mulberry Street”
The Zombie Crossing Guard smiled and greeted Pete
And said, “I’ll get you safely across this North Mulberry Street”
The skies started to darken, first rain, and then sleet
Out came an umbrella from her tall Zombie seat
Pete walked across as dry as a fly his journey complete
Then the other children saw on North Mulberry Street
That the Zombie Crossing Guard was really quite sweet
Now the students hurry and scurry with their happy fleet feet
