Clean Up, Paint Up, FixUp..., Baker is on a clean-up spree, The results can be plainly seen. The object of this spree, you see, Is to keep our school grounds clean. Now on this spree we splurged a little To buy some big trash cans. As places to deposit all our trash , Can easily sum this plan. A contest has been held, With a committee of five to judge, The rooms are all so spic and span Without the slightest smudge. So follow the rules And clean up well. With all this help Our school will look swell.
