Latin Version Songtext
von Pip Proud

Yes, well the Latin version
Of our encyclopædic arms
Doesn′t count for how we
Missed the first term
The first term was deep in Autumn
It hit us gently as it does
It was raw though we were cold
And we missed the first term
I remember there was Jan
And she was the friend to me
We often walked when we could have run
And we often were there
Where others weren't
It wasn′t that we strayed a lot
It's just that they never understood us
And the beautiful workings
Of our Autumn wooden brains
Ha, ha was often heard
Ha, ha Jan said so much
And it didn't hurt


For it wasn′t at me
And we slowly missed the first term
Miss Grund came to see us
In our tree-house
And we had tea and sent
Her away quite tricked
And ha, ha was often heard
Not long after the downfall
Of Cæsar we found it true
No-one had missed us
No-one had chased us
And though it still was heaving heaven
For we were high
It was a pointless life
So the following terms
We reported as pea rifles
We loved the air then
And the way dresses hung
And Jan can still remember
And says ha, ha
How we missed the first term
And Jan can still remember
And says ha, ha
How we missed the first small term.
