If he insists on lyrics, he needs to consult with a true musician. Allow someone else to come up with lyrics and the tune because he has no sense for melody or cutting to the chase when it comes to lyrics. We don't need to know all about Summerway, just get to the premise- Kids Rule and Adults Go to School
I'm still convinced the first version of the song was Mr. Enter coming up with lyrics for the music Dr. C wrote, and the second version was Dr. C coming up with music for the lyrics Mr. Enter wrote. It would explain why, in v1, the lyrics don't tie to the music with any natural flow, and why in v2 the music is stilted as all hell to compensate. Everyone on Mr. Enter's "staff" seem to work around what he's doing as if they're all too scared to say "What you're doing can be improved, so let me improve it."
Look at any other cartoon with regular musical numbers. The credits for those songs tend to say "Lyrics by [episode writer] and [composer,] Music by [composer.]" It demonstrates some form of compromise and collaboration which I'm certain Mr. Enter will never be okay with.
