LYRICS 

Hey Kids are you ready,
For some wonderful drills
On the fabulous historical thinking skills?
The 19 concepts will dance in your dreams,
When matching them up with the five course themes.

With six time periods of long ago,
Backed by primary sources, quite apropos.
And best of all, what I'll tell you next,
There's a thousand page single column text.

Instrumental

Oh AP World, an interesting course.
A rigorous regimen the basic source,
Of topics for all you eager guys,
To lap up, study and analyze.

There are all sorts of rubics,
They will sure help you,
Get an extra score point,
Maybe two.
You'll compare and contrast
A task sublime..
Find Change and Continuity over time.

In AP World, mind your DBQ's
And those MCQ's ,
What a course to choose!
It has topics for all you eager guys,
To lap up, study and analyze.

An experience you'll either come to adore,
Or quoth like the raven, "Nevermore."
