You Gotta Fight For Your Right’s On Your I.E.P.

(sung to the Beastie Boys tune “You Gotta Fight For Your Right to Party”)

YEAH!

KICK IT!

Your IEP’s not perfect so to school you go

You ask for an evaluation - but the school says “No!”
It’s been three years, so you should do some work
But they preach I.D.E.A like you’re some kind of jerk

You gotta fight for your right’s on your I.E.P

You ask for more therapy – and they say “No way!”

Give me “Prior Written Notice” is what you should say
Fighting this hard is such a drag
But to get what you need you just have to nag (Busted)

You gotta fight for your right’s on your I.E.P

You gotta fight

Don’t come to this meeting if it’s me you want to scare

I’ll bring a friend and I’ll be ready to launch ‘mama bear’
The principal busts in and says “What a delight!”
We’ve found a parent who has learned her rights

You gotta fight for your right’s on your I.E.P

You gotta fight for your right’s on your I.E.P
