J2

So, by the end of the camp, my kids didn’t get as attached to me as I did to them. Sad. Still, I felt a lot of affection, plus I’m a total sap, so I wrote them a song. I played it for them on the last night and they cried.

“J2” By Cory Oh

This is a song of about 3 weeks long
My dearest homeroom class, called J2*
Every single one’s unique
All are strong, none are weak
So let me introduce them all to you.

Michelle was kinda quiet
Grace was too, but kinda violent
She truly earned the nickname of King Kong
Ji-seon’s sweet and special
She didn’t even arm wrestle
Even though she’s really good at Tae Kwon Do

[Chorus]
J2, J2
Oh what would I do
I have no other homeroom besides you (x2)

And we had Alice smiling brightly
Kevin always seemed excited
John was always falling off his chair
Jiny walking like a model
It looked more like a waddle
She liked to smell her bare feet during class

[Chorus]

Kate was studying the hardest
But during games, she screamed the loudest
It sounded like “AHHHHHHH!!!!!” and hurt my ears
We had Da-ye going, “Hiiii!”
Katrina going, “Why?”
And Alice going, “Huh?” ~ didn’t understand

[Chorus]

Judy played the older sister
John was good at Twister
Jung-hwan giving Sean a real hard time
We had Tony always dancin’
Making people laughin’
His Lee Hyori dance down upon the floor

[Chorus]

Michelle striving for perfection
Kevin following directions
And Jung-hwan breaking down the classroom door
Then there’s Judy’s blank stare
Katrina cuttin’ hair
And Da-ye loving Jason ‘til the end

[Chorus]

J2, J2
I’ll miss all of you
And deep inside, I hope you’ll miss me too (x2)

* “J2” means Juniors lvl 2 (i.e. middle school intermediate).
