A little "Sound of Music"

So here it is the wonderful masterpiece adapted by my coworker from The Sound of Music about our cunt of a principal.

How do you solve a problem like our Lisa?
How do you keep ambition wrestled down?
How do you find a word that stands for Lisa?
An overachiever? A pain in the ass? A wound?

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her.
Many a thing she ought to understand.
But when she sits in an office all day
She forgets any other way
Than whatever latest scheme she's got planned.
Oh how do you solve a problem like our Lisa?
Why does she hold our weekends in her hand?

When I'm with her I'm confused,
Out of focused and bemused,
And I never know exactly where I stand.
Unpredictable as the weather,
Never satisfied with better,
She's a kiss-up, she's an artist, she's a ham.
She's obsessed with any test,
And she never let's us rest,
Seems like forms and lengthy meetings are her world.
She is pitied, she's reviled,
Tries to care for every child,
She's a headache, she's our mentor, she's a pearl.

Oh, How do you solve a problem like our Lisa?
How do you keep your spirit safe and sound?
What will you put upon my head, now, Lisa?
A new obligation? A friendly relation? A crown?

Many a thing you know you'd like to tell her.
Many a thing she ought to understand.
But how do you find a way
To say what you need to say
Without having a chilly comment make off-hand?
Oh, how do you solve a problem like our Lisa?
Sometimes I want to quit or get canned.
